Can anyone recommend an efficient modern speakers for first watt J2?
I am using Altec Lansing Model 19. They are great speakers, especially for the money. However, they are a bit lacking in the low frequency (the low frequency texture is rich but nothing close to slamp, and I want both) and in imaging and sound stage (probably due to the sensitive horns).
I am looking for any modern alternatives. Any recommendations? Thanks.

May I suggest you look into a multiple subwoofer setup added to your existing setup?
Wayne Parham at Pi Speakers have a concept called Flanking Subwoofers, Earl Geddes and others suggest something similar for surperb bass in room response.
I built 3pi subs and will use Hypex 180W amps built into the subwoofers. For crossover I picked the minidsp. KISS.
You may even look into the 4pi speakers or the 7pi corner horns?
BTW... FR & OB was not my cup of tea... ;-)

Geez, I thought it was the Maestro himself.
Thanks for the recommendations.

The DTQWT is a great speaker for sure! Had a pair for 2 1/2 year and did use my J2 variant with them.I was thinking the Troels Gravesen DTQWT would be a good one for the J2. Maybe a tad difficult to build though.
Be patient during the build process and you'll succeed.
Or build the 4pi... great speaker too.
but for a woofer you may want a more conventional amp with very low output impedance.
Or a woofer with low Qm.
