want to try a SET but where to start, I have......

A pair of klipsch, I believe they are rated at 94 db.
I have read previous threads on SET, and this is what I got.
The 300b have generally the most bloom, and the 845 run closest to neutral.
The 2a3 usually come in units with anywhere from 2-5 watts

I hope I got most of the facts right.
I would like that SET magic I always here about, can get enough power from a 2a3 unit or would a 845 work better with the 94 db speakers.

I would also like the unit to be intergrated with a remote
Am I asking too much?
Any recommendations would be greatly Appreciated
Thank you for your time

Thanks alot Marco and Entrope, I will look into the amps you have mentioned,
Up until this point I have owned low effiency speakers and never really had a chance to try a SET amp. My tastes are changing an I would like to look into the low power set direction (get up close and personal with the music)
My speaker may change depending on my result
once again thank you for your comments
BTW room is 13 x 16 I believe but it is a douplex so the volume will be staying quite low

i listen to mostly female vocals...or easily listen music like cowboy junkies some jazz.

I have owned a audiomat prelude that was great but really did not drip with midrange magic...

There is a cary 2a3si for sale in my area...any thoughts on this unit?
Thx again

Marco there is also a cary 300sei for sale, what is a good used price, I would like to price check because the asking price seem a bit high

the cary 2a3 si is a 15 watt push pull,
and the 300sei is 2390 USD.
I guess I will have to grind this one over.

the cary 2a3 push pull would have enough power without lossing the liquid midrange would it not?
Thanks again
