Decware and SET Low Power Tube Amps with Hi Efficency Speakers


Good morning folks,
In my never ending search for a new concept in music involving and primarily focused on "tube" sound I came across Decware.
So does anyone have either experience or an opinion on the products and especially the sound. Speakers I am considering among others but most likely to be Tekton Designs, Lores or possibly Pendragons.
Without digressing into a myriad of other conversations what does the forum think?

I have been an owner of Decware Amps since 2013...a Torii MK IV (25 WPC), a Taboo MK III (headphone amp) and a pair of Zen Signature Mono-blocks at 2.3 SET watts.  
For the Mono-blocks I use a pair of Zu Audio "Souls" rated at 99 dB at 8 ohms. To my ears this is a match made in Heaven.  I have not had the opportunity to listen to any of the new UFO transformers but I'm sure they are nice. I also used a pair of Omega  Alinco Speakers with the monoblocks ...I think they are rated 93 dB.  They weren't quite able to reach loud levels as the Zu's can.  I much prefer the Zu's but admit I own two pairs of Omega Speakers and they perform much better with the 25 WPC Torii. I would suggest going to the Decware site and reading some of the comments and reviews on the forum. There are specific sections for each piece of gear...both in production and discontinued.  It is a great resource.  Mark.
