SET Amp question

I'm interested if anybody has experience using a SET amp with certain harder to drive speakers, like the Dynaudios and OHMs in my system, or others. What might one expect from such a combo sound wise? Could it work well say in a smaller bedroom system that will not be played too loudly in general.

Pardon from the semi thread jack.
Is there anything that will minimize the speaker SET interaction. e.g. bigger, shorter speaker wire: adding additional stuffing inside the cabinets: changing bias voltage. Any suggestions?

Do you think extra big powercables might tip the response for more at 100-200hz

Thanks for the read Ralph! It would seem that the distortion spectrum or bandwidth is more important with respect to the preceived loudness then the intrinsic acoustic power? EG: to make a rig sound less forward one would strive to minimise odd distortions in the presents range ( 1500 Hz).
