High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
REb, did you sell the Decapos? Are you without speakers still at this point? 
Sell a speaker you like but CANNOT optimize sound?
It happens. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
They (Fritz carbon 7 SEs)may sound different and even quite lovely (have not heard) but based on size and specs will be very surprised if these can inherently outperform even the Decapos off just a few watts, particularly in the bass, at higher vo...
