SET amp recommendation

Speakers are Vienna Acoustic 91db sensitivity, I increase their impedance to about 12 ohms using zeroformers so I am not afraid of lower wattage amps. My listening room is small so what I hear is direct energy from the speakers. Music I listen too is not too crowded or heavily orchestrated, mainly vocal, acoustic and the like. Anticables connect everything together balanced or not. I guess what I am looking for is SET configuration that is not overly colored or muddy. The Carys were nice, but just say I am glad I didnt pay full price for them.

Great information! Thank you

I am hearing some good comments regarding Asian made/assembled 300b/318 SET amps. Have not considered them before; believed they were built with profit in mind, substandard components and transformers. Should i be thinking different if it is going to be a throw-down amp anyway playing second fiddle to my OTLs? Or, wait for a good used domestic?

Mixing apples and oranges, I am curious about the sound profiles of other non-SET amp configurations, such as McIntosh, PrimaLuna, Integrated amps using EL34,EL84, 6550s, the list is endless. Has anyone had a good experience with any of these they want to share?

Yes I agree with JWM, I am all over the map which is precisely why I am gleaning advice from the experts; so many amps so little time. My focus is quickly narrowing, and I am avoiding many a disappointing mistake to be certain thanks to this forum.

I am a big fan of the OTL and do not see that changing anytime soon, based upon the economics of listening room size, discretionary income, time I can devote, and subjective listening taste.

The endorphin/enkephalin release from tubes keep me addicted to experiencing different flavors and to that end all of your inputs are highly respected and valued with selecting another flavor to savor.
