I have one pair of TELEFUNKEN tlx3 loudspeakers:
Acceptable input: 120W
Maximum input: 200W
Nominal impedance: 8Ohm
Frequency response: 22Hz 25kHz ...
Repartee: 500Hz / 27kHz / 5kHz
speakers are difficult compositing with amp, I want to pair with one tube amp. I try 6v6 Ampex mono a692 but they are not strong enough. With Leak-ST20 is very well, but to earn Leak ST20 in my country is not easy.
Please consult to help one tube amp fit me, priorities European tube amp. Thanks

I had these speakers for many years and I loved them.But they are very hard to drive,not efficient at all. 84DB/1W/1M if I recall correctly. For whatever reason,most SS amplifiers really struggle with them. My Quad Mk2's did a pretty good job at reasonable listening levels. But,when hooked up to a rebuilt pair of Dynaco MK3's,WOW! I don't know if this amp is easily available in your country. Over here they're everywhere and not too expensive.
Does anyone has other idea?
@audio king: Thank you.
with you: The TLX3 are hi-end or just hifi?
They are good to play musical instruments when I heard through the graft with Leak ST20 of my friend, it is not very good vocal
I am puzzled to find EL34 amp to pair with it, or sell them, then will buy TANNOY 12gold just transplant with philip AG9016 (2w tube EL95)

whether there is sufficient health to drive the TLX3?

The TLX3 are a VERY neutral speaker,and have an extremely flat response.
The penalty for this is lack of efficiency. My feeling is that,while other speakers may give the impression of better performance with vocals,it is only because they favour these frequencies,and exaggerate them. You are very lucky to have a pair of these speakers,and you should really try to find an appropriate amplifier to try them with before you sell them. Also,remove the metal grilles; you will be amazed at the difference! The only speaker I have found to equal these is the KEF 104/2. I still use both.

It depends: How loud do you like to listen? How big is the room? What kind of music?
I used the QUAD mk2 when I lived in an appartment; Loud enough to bother the neighbours.
Rather similar in performance to the Leak Stereo 20.
