Same answer below - speakers that are easy to drive. If a SET amp is not giving you the bass slam and drive or treble sparkle it is one of two things - A) it's not a good SE amp or B) the speakers are no efficient enough and are causing the amplifier to run into distortion which then becomes a fuzz box of mush.

And no - not all horns are easy to drive. High efficiency is far more important than high sensitivity.
