...If the opportunity occurs it would be interesting to see how some of the equipment plays on your speakers. As I recall they were rather efficient and a Poddwatt might make a good showing on them.
I was thinking the same. I'll be using a 525w/ch D-Sonic class D ICEpower amp, and it would be interesting to hear how a simple tube preamp like the Forewatt compliments this class D amp. I would expect to hear some good synergy when the warmth of tubes is combined with clear and precise, but somewhat analytical sound of a powerful class D switching amp.
The EconoWave speakers are 95dB sensitivity, eight ohms, with a simple 2nd order crossover. I've tried them with a 2A3 amp and a 300B. The 2A3 was adequate for all but the most dynamic music, and the eight watt 300B drove them to very satisfying room-filling levels with any music. I would enjoy hearing them with the Poddwatt, and I expect many visitors to the show would be interested in hearing that combination too, so lets be sure to make that happen.
