I am one of those who drive relatively less efficient speakers with my Decware gear. I drive my:
- 91dB B&W DM630s with an SE84UFO25, and - 90-91dB Rega RS1's with an SE34I.2+.
I have also tried my 88.5dB ProAC D28's with the UFO25 as well. All alternatives have worked fine with me, actually much better than the single-driver full-range alternatives that I have tried (including, but not limited to, Zu Druids and Omega's).
Volume-wise, my setups do not reach earth shattering levels (I have another push-pull amp for that), but I find the tonal balance and bass response better than most other alternatives. Actually, my listening habits have even changed, as the detail of these amps, particularly that of UFO25, is at such a level that I do not feel like cranking up the volume anymore.
Also maybe it is only me, but most Fostex and Lowther applications I have heard had a shout effect that has given me some real fatigue and I have always struggled with the bass frequencies with these speakers (never liked the sub alternative). As I do not have a dedicated listening space, I have yet to work on room acoustics (which is extremely important), so I have to find the middle ground and that middle ground for me is using my amps with the speakers I have in hand.
I am still open to trying some open baffles and some makes of Klipsch, but since I moved back to Istanbul, I do not have much access to many alternatives.
I do not know how much this is of help, but do try and see it yourself. Regardless of the speaker setup you have, I am quite positive that you will fall in love with the UFO2 anyway! :)
Cheers,
Alper
