Hi All,
Couple of quick questions. I do most of my listening now with a Woo WA6-SE headphone amp and a variety of headphones.  As I'm in a small apartment, that seemed to make the most sense.  I would like to try a speaker setup to expand my enjoyment. To that end I was thinking of the SE84ckc. I like the price point and the looks, and from what I'm reading, it seems like a great amp.  If I want that route, what speaker would make sense?  I'm thinking something like maybe the Tekton Mini Lore?  Not sure if anybody has this.  I listen to all sorts of music, but really like female vocals (think Rickie Lee Jones) and most Jazz, with hard bop a real favorite.  My listening room is small, say 15 x 20 and the speakers would go on the long side of the wall.  I'm open to any suggestion, but would like to keep the price for the amp, speakers and cable under 2k.  Am I heading in the right direction?

Amp is a great choice. Also there is a nice pair of speakers for sale in the classifieds section that would pair up nicely. Shameless plug, sorry.  :-[

Shipping would be an issue price wise depending on where you live.

I too am using MG944's with a Zen Mystery Amp.  Great speakers that hit well above their price point.

I should have mentioned that I also use my SuperZen (CKC) with the MG944's, but it gets a lot less use these days with the ZMA in the mix.

Either option will drive the Mini Lore.  It's best to check with Steve, but the 4 Ohm OT (normal option) seems more sensible since I believe the Mini Lore has a crossover network.  

IIRC the 8-16 output transformer are meant for higher impedance speakers or 8 Ohm single driver speakers that lack a crossover.  For example the Zu Soul Superfly @ 16 Ohms and Omega 7XRS (8 Ohms, but no crossover) are good examples to use with the 8-16 OT.
