Decware and SET Low Power Tube Amps with Hi Efficency Speakers

I’m running a pair of Zu Dirty Weekend Mk. II ‘s with the Clarity Cap upgrade and I alternate between my Dennis Had Inspire PSE Fire Bottle amp with built in Blue Alps volume attenuator, and a David Belles Aria integrated amp. 

The Inspire is rated anywhere from 16 WPC to 23 WPC depending on which output tubes I use and the Belles Aria is rated at 70 WPC.
 
I think I agree with earlier noted observations that the Zu’s definitely perform well with good solid state as well as good low power tubes. Right now I can’t really say which I prefer as they both sound great but different.

I drive my Tekton Lores with a Decware Zen. The combination is pure magic as far as I'm concerned. Imaging is amazing.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

I am using Decware HDT speakers and the Torii mk3. The amp replaces Wright Sound Mono8's. I would never consider anything less than 8 watts with my speakers that are 95db efficient unless you listen at moderate levels and aren't looking for dynamics, realistic levels. There is a lot I miss with this 300b but it's all a trade off. Steve's low power SET would need something in the 97db range minimum to my taste and I listen fairly near field and love my jazz.

I have never used the headphone jack.  Just speakers
