Watt/Puppies with SET or push-pull???


I've heard rumors that WPs are a bad match for SETs due to their impedence curves. Anyone tried this with good results, or bad results? Push-pull any better?

I'm moving from SS to tubes, and eventually new speakers (maybe Silverbacks). In the meantime, I have WPs (93dB sensitivity seems ok). Wondering what I'm up against with the WPs and tubes.

Probably Shindo SET (8 or 10W), but may do Shindo PP (25 or 40W). Thanks!

At 93 Db your WP's will work just fine with SET amps

FWIW, I drive my Wilson X-2's with Lamm ML 2.1's (18 wpc) and I can raise the SPL to near ear bleeding levels without the amp clipping. Previously I used ARC Ref 600 Mk lll's (push pull at 600 wpc) for my X-2's and as good as it was it didn't even come close to that which is delivered by the Lamm ML 2.1 which IMO is the best amp I have ever owned
