Which is the best SET match for Quads 988 ?


Can 988 Quads be driven by an SET to play mostly classical, Jazz and chamber music in a 12X14 room ?
My front end is Meridian 508.20 and VPI Aries/Grado Sonata.
Preamp, Rogue99 Magnum NOS.

Hi,
I have run my Quad 988's with my overachieving 15W Cary 300SEI/WE300's (and audiomeca 24/192) and it is a beautiful match. The midrange is to die for. You get the amp with world class midrange combined with a speaker that has world class midrange.
I have only listened to this setup in a smaller room, but the speaker does not sound underpowered and is one of the most glorious sounding combo's I've heard.

Of course putting them on my 150W Bat vk150SE's does bring out a bit more bass !
