Here are a few words about the tube tots written by our friend Camus;
I very much enjoy the Tube-Tots, it’s because i have a variety of equipment and 2 different rooms i get to play them in and have been able to experience them with enough variety and positioning 
By pure chance i happen to have them in rotation as i type this reply, they are keepers as far as I’m concerned and at their price point are more than worthwhile addition to any collection that includes a variety of speakers purpose built for various styles of listening enjoyment. Very easy to power and easily integrated into various size and styles of rooms.
Folks in this hobby are very finicky and there are so many thousands of speakers to choose from it’s very difficult to make choices if you are not familiar w/ the general characteristics of the various styles of speaker. The Tube-Tots perform well as a small stature, crossover-less design, in a nice enclosure, priced appropriately in the lower cost quadrant. Very good value if used for their strengths with some decently mated equipment.
Mine are currently being powered by a Decware 341.5 (6wpc) amplifier and Sonnet Pasithea DAC.
