SET amps and speaker sensitivity.

Ok, thanks guys. So the higher the the dB rating on a speaker, the more sensative it is? 93dB is more sensative than 90 dB and so on?

Wow! great to have such an overwhelming response. The more I know, the more confused I get. I guess I am realizing that I might not even have a clear understanding of what an SET amp is.

I am assuming (again an assumption) that not all tube amps are SET amps. Could some of you give me some examples of SET amps. On that note, could some of you give examples of good speaker SET amp combinations that you have run across in your expereinces. Truly I am a novice here.

On another note, my room size is 22L by 13W by 8H. That in feet. Is this big enough to put a floor standing speaker in? I've read on other forums that this is a common mistake, trying to fit too big a speaker into too small ar room Any feedback would be appreciated.

And lastly, just to give polks and idea of what I am looking into for the distant, I mean far distant future, would be something like matching the audio aero prestige monoblocks or the lamm ml2.1's with a floor stander from focal like the alto ot nova utopia be. Any comments?

Thanks all,
Peter

Great thanks folks. I have a lot to learn. So is this where bi-amping comes into play. Can you bi-amp two lower output SET amps and pair those with less efficient speakers?

Cheers,
Peter
