Elekit 8600/8900 - What speakers do you use?

[davidmcritchie]

Hi All,

Thought it would be cool to see what speakers/headphones people are using with their Elekits and what their experience is? I've got a TU-8600s but also interested in the TU-8900 crews thoughts.

I'll kick off - I'm using Living Voice Avatars (94db) which I a really enjoying but interested in upgrading to horn speakers in the future. Bad photo attached.

Cheers

David

Interesting question! I use my 8900 with headphones only !

@Whitigir - good point. In the name of inclusion I've amended the post to include 'phones.

I’m using an 8600S on my vintage Altec VOTT A7 system.
It sounds pretty amazing. Actually brought a tear to my eye.
Now I want to try the 8900 with 2A3. Haha. It’s addictive.

Nice!! Loving that amazing look. Wow! The speakers are rated upto 50W !! I am surprised that the 8600 can drive it that well

Awesome, would love to hear something like this. I dig the industrial aesthetic too.

I decided to buy Omega HO AlNiCo monitors (made in USA) for my TU-8200R with Lundahl OPTs. They have 97 dB sensitivity, the power requirements is as little as 2 watts. The sound is beautiful. No subwoofer is needed. I am very happy with them.

I pair AER BD3B with Azurahorn and REL S/510 subwoofer.
I'm using TU-8600S.

I use my TU-8600S with GR-Research NX-Tremes open baffle speakers and triple 12" OB servo subs.

 

[Whitigir]

How are you all running 8W per channel into such humongous speakers ?

 

[Rock Ball]

I use my TU-8600S with GR-Research NX-Tremes open baffle speakers and triple 12" OB servo subs.

These speakers are 94dB efficient, so 8W powers them pretty well for most music. The subs have their own special amp.
