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.

Think of it this way:

The SET Amplifier is like a singer / vocalist without a microphone, and the Loudspeaker is like a space or venue in which the singer / vocalist is singing.

In a modest sized venue - the sound will be sweet because the performer can sing at their singing volume and everyone can enjoy. However, if the venue is too big - the performer has to try to sing louder - affecting tone and still not fulfilling the desired performance.

So, what you will have is a SET Amplifier that is not giving you 100% SET sound. It will be best if budget permits to get a compatible Loudspeaker.
