High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS

I`m not surprised the 1 watt SET amp sounded good(within limits). The Daedalus is a good speaker and will reveal the quality of that low power amplifier rather than mask it. I`ve heard them with the Modwright SS amp and the result was pretty good. However every time I`ve listened to them driven by a quality tube amplifier they just were better,more alive,engaging and natural.The tubes seem to bring out the music`s emotion in these speakers to a higher degree.

The 16 ohm load would be an easier load to drive for the OTL amplifier thus it's operating more efficiently would be my guess.

NVP,
Your thought process is on the right track.The motivation for Nelson Pass`s First Watt line of amplifiers was high quality sound at low power levels.He recognizes that higher efficiency speakers require 'quality' more so than power quantity.These speakers at normal listening levels may use well under i watt(often only fractions of a watt) of power.Some behemoth amplifiers don`t sound their best at these lower levels(nut some do pretty well).
