I recently added a pair of Klipsch Heresy III speakers to my rig and their claimed 99db efficiency allows the use of very low power amps...2 to 3 watt SE stuff is popular with these things…so I assumed my Dennis Had SEP at 12 watts per side would work well, and it does, allowing "pre-distortion" levels far louder than I need. I have other speakers hanging around that have various levels of efficiency, and, of course, sound will emanate from them with any amp. But the fact that every little watt from the first one will provide sort of maximum detail in an efficient speaker seems like a good thing, and by being a proponent of this approach myself, I'm trapped in the efficient speaker zone…it sounds so good I don't mind really, but when reading reviews of any less than efficient speaker I now think…meh…trapped…I'm trapped...
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?
