What speakers, that you carry, have the best synergy with this Amp?

I just received them today, they are sick! I mean I have been playing several Cowboy Junkies CDs and just asking myself, how did they do that? Heh.. The amp just about fits in the palm of my hand - its tiny.

I have it hooked into my main rig at the moment so would have to do some more listening with some of the smaller speakers we carry and post back later.

do you need high sensitivity speakers for this amp? would an 88db speaker work with the Miniwatt?

 

[Dominat0r]

wow that thing is tiny =) im curious myself as to how they sound.

What design is it built off of?

Looks great and a great price too...

Hi Poler

I had a pair of 87db 6 ohm speakers and they were fine with them, they did not get extremely loud mind you but any louder than max on the amp would have been more than I would ever listen to them. I had a conversation with Vinnie www.RedWineAudio.com think it depends really on your level of comfort at which you listen to. If you play the music really loud then your probably going to want 92db'ish. I found that the 87db was fine though.

If anyone else has tried the MiniWatt with something similar please post your findings here, thank you.

Folks I am working on a MiniWatt Accessory Upgrade Package.

Which consists of our new ALO AC3 Power Cable (The MiniWatt does not come with a power cable), this is a ultra flexible super light weight power cable. Made with black jacked ALO SXC wire 18awg x 3 - wire Cryo'ed (by my friends at www.Cryo-Parts.com) We use a hospital grade AC male plug and a Schurter IEC end.

Then in the package is some Svetlana Russian tubes 6P1P-EV. I am working on some output tubes now.

Also the news on the MiniWatt Headphone Adapter is (Disclaimer

the price and time is not set in stone and can change) that the adapter will be for sale sometime in Sept and will retail for $99. ALO will be first to get these and I will try and bring more info as it becomes available.

Thank you

Ken
