Almost any speakers that don't require a terrific grip of the bass, some, not many bass reflex systems tend to be slightly boomy. My Tannoys are fine, although reflex. LS3/6 has tighter bass on 405-2, but rest of the freq range I prefer 303.
I have so many, but Quad ESL57's, LS3/5a, LS3/6, Tannoy HPD315, JR149, my Quad ESL63's have developed a fault, so can't use them.
I have four 303's, can't think why!

This is the Proton 520B, similar to the 520 except minus tone controls (I believe). I'm using a 520 through Rogers LS3/6 at the moment, it's an excellent little amp, can't fault it.

Just spotted another difference, 520 can be used as a pre for any other power amp, doesn't look like one can do that with the 520B.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
