SET and Quads not working are probably folklore more than reality.
For me SET would not work because of limited SPL. But if one can live with lower maximum SPL, the typical Quad owner, the SET will work fine. I know plenty of people using SET and they are quite happy with the combo.
When I take Quads to shows we always use low output amps typically around 20 watts. At CAF last summer we had a large room, 24' X 20', running original Quads and the Miyajima 20 watt OTL. Filled the room with sound and played plenty loud enough for everyone.
8-10 watts of power should get the Quad to 88dB without clipping.
