Proac D38R with SET amp

Hi

Anyone here has or heard a pair of Proac D38R driven by a SET amp of relatively low 10Ws per channel? I know the Proac website actually states recommended power from 10W onwards but am not sure of how the speakers will sound with 10W.... i listen mainly to jazz, blues, vocals and some classical, in a 13' x19' room.

thanking you in advance for sharing your experience.

best regards

Hi Fudgeo. While I haven't heard the later D38 mated to a set amp, I have direct experience with the both the response 3.5 and the 3.8 paired with an 18watt/ch KR 18bsi.

Both were outstanding in a medium sized room [18ft x 14ft]
Due to the rather begnign load of the proac,they should mate well with most set amplification providing the amplifier is designed with a quality power supply.

I would have my doubts about any an amplifier employing a single 2a3 triode/channel. May work if configured in parallel/channel however I still don't believe that it would be a synergistic match.
As mentioned above, the Cary 805's are a fabulous paring with the larger proacs.

Best of luck with your journey.
