So what sorts of speakers would be good to use with a 3W/Ch tube amp? I'm almost temped to try it as a headphone amp on my 250Ω DT990s!

DaedAnything with a relatively high sensitivity rating. Klipsch Heresy, Zu Audio Omen, Caintuck Audio Betsy, are some budget-friendly examples.

DaedI am currently using these with low sensitivity Pioneer Elite SP-EBS73 (4 ohm, 85db). It shouldn't work well but I get a lot of volume at only 10 o'clock on the dial.

chucksayswordI realize I am responding to an old post, but I have to wonder at the "budget-friendly examples" of Klipsch Heresy ($2,000/pr), and Zu Omen ($4,500/pr).
The Betsy's appear to be in the $500/pr range, so they are in the ballpark of being budget friendly for a $100 amp pairing. But their mom/pop style website and lack of reviews, combined with a very "unique" speaker design, would make me a little leery of shelling out the $$.

dasmanI was thinking of the Omen Dirty Weekend, which sell for $999/pr (when they're available). Klipsch Heresy (previous generations) are also often available second-hand for $500-$1000/pr. Maybe not exactly budget, but certainly more reasonable.

chucksayswordNO just no! That does not fall anywhere into the word or near vicinity of budget Richie rich!

chucksayswordI have the Omen DW, been playing with the APPJ for almost 2 months now (December 2018)...very happy with the pairing. Great upgrade from my Yamaha integrated receiver.
