Mark:
Thanks for response.
There are some used assembled BottleHead Paramours (no longer available new from BottleHead) that I considering buying at $600 the pair (also considering BottleHead Paramount 1.1). That's one of the reasons I'm trying to find out how badly my current speakers are gonna perform with the SET amps.
I am convinced (perhaps erroneously) that the shape, volumne, mass, etc. of the curved TAD 805 SD speaker enclosures I have has a lot to do with their good performance. I not leaning towards a typical box enclosure like the Fostex kit. I have some Spendor SP 2/2 more expensice larger 2-way box speakers, but I prefer the cheaper 805's. So I will start looking at the vendors you guys have mentioned to see if I can get a more effecient driver that can also work with existing enclosure. Might get the Fostex kits to run at work or in the garage, where I spend a lot of time. Do you know their efficiency rating?
Have you run the Fostex's with the Paramours? Do think my current speakers would be hopeless with the Paramours?
BTW, I looked at some of the Flickr images- someone's got an awesome back yard!

They sound good - to me - with it. I haven't hooked 'em to the Paramours, though.
I do still have the Paramours, by the way.
all the best,

If you're interested in selling the Paramours, I might be interested. The other ones got snapped up from eBay. Of course I'm interested in knowing what your other amp is that you apparently prefer.
If I modify my speakers,I saw some Tang Bands that might work. Also liked the look of their kit, D4-1. Consensus on this forum is that my speakers really can't be modded and work right. They may be usable as-is. I think I'll buy some SETs and worry about the speakers later.

you're welcome to come by, give a listen, and borrow 'em for a while if you wish!

Thanks for the offer; that would be real helpful- I don't know anyone with SET's to audition. Maybe if I join a hifi club in my area........ But I live in SoCal, and am schakled to my job.
