Mine are fed with a SE84C-S Decware tube amp & a Njoe Tjoeb cd player. I'd like to get a turntable into the loop but that would require either a line amp or a preamp neither of which I now have.
You'll have to pardon my current setup as it pertains cabinetry. The gear stand I had made for these got commandeered for new video equipment in the front room. Sheesh.

BIB driven by Kenwood
sounds beautiful, driven by the Kenwood, a ebay special. It is connected to my PC, also connects to mp3 player, works well.
Livingroom with another BIB speaker, driven by JVC DVD-receiver. Both speakers are great for my home use. Blew up the t-amp while modifying so the Kenwood acquired...
Not exotic but the to me the Kenwood sounds mellow, tube-like.

300B in PP &...
a pair of Siemens/Klangfilm EL-84 SE monos with pre section by-passed, tapped directly to EF-86. ran on 240v, & RCA's installed.These SE mono's impress me. I didn't think they could do much, I finally got them up & running yesterday. There @ about 3 watts max with the 15ohm taps into 8 ohm B200's. Crap.. I can see now I am on a long road with SEP & SET''s...... I am definately searching for a SE tube amp build, maybe 45, who knows....

Speakers are Hemp Acoustics FR8's in vented boxes, driven by this unlikely setup. The big board is Joe Curcio's Daniel 2 tube preamp. The tiny board behind the knob on the right is an Autoconstruire TA2020 tripath power amp. The 2020 is powered by an outboard SMPS. Daniel's line stage is bypassed, the Tripath doesn't need the gain, so I only light up the tubes to play LP's. The phono stage is 10 times the size (and cost) of the power amp!

I run my Fullrange speakers with the same amps that I use for my other speakers, although I like my Scott 299 the best for the midrange on fullrangers.
The others? Well actually, the speakers move from room to room and the gear stays put for the most part.
In one room I use a Pioneer SX-880 receiver for listening to the local FM classical station ( KING 98.1 ). Another setup uses the Scott, with a Sansui AU-7900 integrated amp as an alternative. I usually use.......... (RU ready for this?), a Radio Shack Optimus CD-7300 player, which actually is quite good.
One of my other setups (for experimenting) uses a Chip Amp and a variety of preamp/ attenuation devices with a Toshiba 3950 DVD player.
For informational purposes I need to state that I have a variety of speakers, both full range and multi-way, that are in constant rotation from room to room. This happened after my wife complained that having 11 pairs of speakers in our living room was a "little too much".
She certainly didn't seem to appreciate my suggestion that if we sold some of our furniture it wouldn't be as big of a problem.

I feed my FR125's with my 2.5W/ch SET Baby Amp

Gregg,
No I didn't, spent most of the time in the other room, darn it!
Dave Rosgaard did and told me on the way home that I really missed out. I'm going to have to make a point of it next time we get together.
This stuff is really dangerous, I just can't get enough of it

Rick,
If you go to my site there are pictures of my two current Lowther speaker systems under the projects link. There are also a few Lowther speakers in my gallery that other people have made. Then there are Lowther measurements under the General Speaker Related Articles link. And finally there are several projects under consideration that I would like to build when and if I find the time. Building is not my strength and I have a bunch of other MathCad worksheet upgrades and a rewrite of my horn theory going on right now.
