I would think the issue was more the WA speaker , than the Devialet's, again with Devialet the bigger the better , try the 400/400 and hear the difference. Albeit there is some lack of involvement with some Class-D, i did not experience that with the Devialet's , but the listening session was only for an 1 HR ...
FMA, I thought all Swiss knew this and Manny Huber ... :)Regards
PS, Dartzeel 108
Power output with 1kHz test signal
8-ohm load at 1% THD: 142W
4-ohm load at 1% THD: 158W
RUN .. !!!!

1kHz signal at 10W into an 8-ohm load
Dartzeel NHB 108, I know Uncle Mikes and others like their sound alot , must be the same way others like high distortion SET toobs..

What can I say? It didn't impress me at all and I heard it at the designers own house...but then I don't have Musical Fidelity "Titans" as my reference...
Have you tried FMA..? I think the Dartzeel would work well on your horns , high z-mag and sensitivity fits this amp distortion vs power profile ...
Again, what is FMA? I disagree with your assessment of the dartzeel data. It doesn't drop significantly with power so at the powers I am likely to use it will be signficantly more distorted than my tube amps and with lots of harmonics that are also not ideal for natural sound reproduction.
I disagree with your disagree, you still have to try and see if you like the Dartzeel distortion triats as much as your tooby distortion traits. I know it wont work for me , the Ribbon panels are 1.5 ohm and the bass towers are 3 ohms.
As to FMA, I'm shocked you are not aware of them or Manny Huber, its the best SS amplfiers in dah whole wide world , the only one better than toobs and in your backyard to boot.FMA:
Load Impedance:
No minimum impedance. The amplifier is designed for 1 Ohm to 10'000 Ohm systems. It can drive any speaker impedance (even below 1 Ohm) with dynamic (music) signals without any limiting, compression or other negative effects on the audio signal. Despite this, the amplifier is fully protected against short circuits, open circuits and all other adverse conditions via a unique onboard computer that continuously surveys all important parameters.
Regards.
PS : I have a knew tooby , an SET , going to use it in my studio, those mid field monitors are 91db/8 ohm small room , hope it gets close to the Cary's, sadly only 5 watts , listening distance is only 1M thou so , chip chip..

And you seem not to be able to read anymore...I have heard it more than once and found it wanting...so I have "Heard" its distortions.
What kind of SET did you get? With only 5 watts it must be something small but at 1 meter it and 91db/watt meter it might be ok.
maybe if I need an arc welder someday I could consider this FMA...
I had the Cary CAD-572se monos a few years ago...they were pretty nice sounding...not too warm but natural. Measurements in stereophile from Martin Colloms look pretty promising...always wonder how they would sound if you removed the 2db of negative feedback that Cary applied...they could even make a pretty honest 20 watts. Now some friends have them and they love them with their AudioPlan Kontrast IIIsi speakers.
