Submitted by Jeremiah Klinger on

Does anyone have any recommendations for budget bookshelf speakers to pair with the Fatman iTube. I have been considering the following speakers so far:

Wharfedale Diamond 9.1
Epos Els3
Kef iQ1

Any thoughts?

The specs for the iTube are as follows:

Power- 13W x 2
Freq Resp- 20Hz-20KHz
Signal to noise- greater or equal to 86Db
Input imp.- 100kohm
Output imp- 4ohm-8ohm
Valves- 2x6N1 (ECC85); 1 6E2 (EM87)

I don't remember the year, but I remember the moment when I first became intensely curious about Roy DuNann. It must have been about 1975, right after I moved to Seattle. I bought a Sonny Rollins LP called <I>Way Out West</I>, took it home, cued it up on my Thorens turntable, dropped the tonearm, and suddenly I was in a room with Rollins and Shelly Manne and Ray Brown. It was a shipping room with records stacked on shelves all around the musicians, but I wouldn't know that until many years later.

I am not yet new to hi-fi. I chose a set of 2 Unison Research equipment (tube integrated amp S6 -35 Wpc- and a CD player Unico) to match to a pair of Sonus Faber Domus Grand Piano speakers(max power of 200 Wpc). I bought the speakers and brought them home to Colombia. When I tried to buy the integrated amp and the cd player in Chile I found out that they cannot get them for 120 volts but for 220 v.
Now I have 5 questions:
1. Is the Unison Research tube integrated amp S6 at 35 Wpc a good match for my speakers (whose manufacturer recommends a range of 30-200 Wpc)?

I saw the Canadian Brass at Roy Thomson Hall (Toronto) on the 22nd for their annual Christmas performance. It wasn't entirely seasonal music, in fact they perfromed an Operetta with a Western theme... no not that "Western", Western as in the Wild Wild West! No kidding, it was a riot!

Anyway what a treat, I love brass so hearing these virtuosi was something special especially as they have always mixed it up musically, Corelli too New Orleans, they do it all!
