Hello,
I've never had an SET amplifier in my system. Having high efficiency horns (106 db on average down to 100Hz ) I have tried a number of solid state and tube amplifiers, and I am aware of their sound in my system. I can clearly describe what I like and don't from each of those amps. So far I am not happy with any I tried.
What is so special about the SET sound? Is it possible to generalize how it compares to Class A solid state or Triode mode tube amp? I think SET for me is worth trying out but since I am using active crossovers, to put three SET amps for trial, without any sense of direction into my system is a mistake. So I would like to gather some fundamental information about these SET species. Maybe it would help to narrow down on which one (which kind) to try first in my system.
How would you approach this choosing an SET for your horns? (Lets say you know nothing about their sound and how much SET power you need).When Romy mentions DSET, this becomes another option but it is unclear to me: how is SET converted into DSET?
