Heard the K-100B TL's with Paper Cone Drivers @ 2 places yesterday
First place, they were paired to FM Satyaki's Lyrita Audio 2A3 Amp & Project 1 Expression iii TT.
Observations:
The Speakers were paired with a Tube Amp for the first time & the synergy was great! Though Hari was skeptical about pairing a mere 3 watt amp with his 90 DB Speakers, I felt that the amp drove them well without getting strained & the music produced was silky smooth, mellow & highly enjoyable. The details were all well presented, with vocals really excelling. A good pairing in a small to medium room. Ideal for someone who likes to listen to jazz/classical/blues music at a low/moderate volume.
Second Place , they were paired with FM Surrealistsix Hypex 400W Class D Amp & Prism Orpheus DAC + Pre.
Observations:
The Speakers paired with the Hypex Class D Amp was great too. Even with high volumes, the speakers did not shriek or stutter, gave very good imaging, instruments separation & depth. In fact FM Surrealistix likened them to the Usher BE-718's, which were his earlier speakers. His observations were that the highs were rolled off & he wanted more oomph in the bottom end.
I for one liked the presentation as is
BTW, his Prism Orpheus DAC is good.
