Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Venturing into SET active system. Does a 45 have enough power?

Hey Jim.

Thanks for the input. Yes, dynamics are a concern. In fact that is what's mostly behind my question around whether they have enough power for the job.

People have commented about the sensitivity of the driver, but not about the impedance. I'm puzzled. It is my understanding the SET amp develops a certain amount of power at certain voltage, so using a 12 ohm 104dB/W driver should be better for dynamics than an 8ohm 104dB/W driver. Right?
