Judging by your answers, I can see that my question was not specific. What I am or was (doesn't seem like I'm going to be able to leave SET) considering, is 100 of the sweetest SS wpc that would bring out the best in the Definition 1.5s and [if possible] retain a tubey sound? Better?
sometimes:

stanley clark
reggae
bela fleck
Le sacre du printemps/petrouska/firebird
barry white
-plus oodles more-

you get the idea? every once in a while it's nice to hear what (12) 10" 101db speakers can do at 119 or 122dB. my question is more of a curiosity, given, as you said, my 32 very sweet SET watts and 116dB peaks. Highly unlikely that I would make the switch, {SET to SS} but still curious. I would love to hear a YBA Passion amp in my rig.

Hi (Bill) Audiofeil. I know you are a Zu dealer and wonder why you haven't answered my questions regarding the Zu products, particulary since I emailed you on the aside. Anyway how 'bout this one? Will Zu mod my Defs to Atmasphere's recommendation? How much will it cost? I would love to have an answer to my original question, as well. thanks again.
best,

AudioFeil, I realize you sell the Zu line. I was wondering what you consider the best SS (price no object) watts to drive the Defintions? thanks in advance.
Sorry, Saffy, for getting a bit off topic, but while I have Bill, I'd love to get my this question anwered.
lol...it's not Barry White's voice I wish to hear at 122dB. That would be scary. I'm thinking of a BW album I own, that has bass as low as I've ever heard on a recording. Electronic, of course.
Luxman is the way to go with Zu? What model Luxman are you using to drive your Zu Druids? Definitions? Presence? Please furnish some of the specs. thanks
Saffy it's the nature of the 'gon beast. I am sorry though, but I couldn't resist. I'll try to STFU. That wasn't, however, one of my New Year's resolutions...lol..
Atmashpere, are you saying that my Bel Canto SET 40 (35wpc) will give me more dB than 116 with a 30 ohn version? Sending my Defs round trip to Utah, and the cost to modify the Defs to 30 ohm, may not be worth it. I don't have a clue how expensive that conversion would be. Thanks so much for the info, though. It would be a tease if I got 119dB. 122? --- a sure thing.
Maybe you would email me on this so I don't clog up saffy's thread with my stuff? thanks
Atmashphere, what about the dB level? Figure my Definitions are putting out 116db, now. Will I get a higher spl? Thanks again.
