SET friendly speakers w/ slam?

Oh yes...I also recently tried NuForce Ref9SE V2 and Bel Canto Ref1000 on the Sonata III. The Bel Canto had more "slam", but the NuForce were more refined in the mids and highs.

Looking forward to reading the final SET slamming speaker list.

Research these:
Classic Audio Reproductions. I do know they have a very tube friendly impedance curve, and they are very sensitive (over 100dB).

Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere owns a pair.

I think those are the horns Ralph shared the room with at RMAF... If so, very impressive large-scale, huge soundstage with his amps. They certainly have a 'large' physical presence in the room yet they disappear as the source of the sounds.

Horns, my friend.

Good call on the Classic Audio Reproductions speakers, Tvad. Not cheap, but Oooo baby they got slam.

Atma-Sphere showed in two rooms at RMAF '07; they shared one of the big ground-floor ballrooms with Classic Audio Reproductions, and a regular-sized room in the tower with yours truly.

Look at www.decware .com You will need speakers that can do around 101db minimun with the watts you have available. for instance a speaker rarted at 95db@1watt@1meter will need 4 watts to produce 101db at 1meter, while a speaker rated at 92db@1watt@1meter will require 8watts to do the 101db.
Of course room size comes in to play as does the crossover in the speakers(the more complex the Xover the more watts are used up getting through it) Matching up speakers to SET's takes a little research but is worth it!
