resistance should not exceed 0.1ohm.

Then get some decent speakers.

Apogees drop to 2 Ohms, apparently. Don't you regard them as decent?

Do you? Do you use them for monitoring? If not, please state why not.

Oh - and you appear to love valve amps. Describe which one you use to
drive them ;-)

Yes.

The company went into bankcruptcy seven years ago.
No service, no spares - so no good for professional
use.

Yes. We do have a couple of Radfords, but a much
larger number of SS amps, Crown, Amcron, Carver,
JEC etc etc.

We use B+W, JBL and Tannoy, all of which conform
to IEC/EN/BS EN 60268-5 and so can be driven
by any amplifier of sufficient power.

[Cough]. Run by me again which valve amp *you* use to drive Apogees.

I wasn't looking for a list of the speakers and amps you might use, but a
sensible answer to the point.

BTW, do you use 6mm cables to drive your speakers?

If so why - given the high output impedance of your favourite Radford amp
you say your clients delight in?
