RE: Yorkville pro sound speakers for SET ?

Most prosound speakers today are designed for very high power use. This means that the horn tweeter has to be crossed very high, around 2200hz for example. Consequently, the woofer (often 12") is used well outside of its optimal range. The speaker might sound good anyway, but these are things to keep in mind when looking at prosound speakers.

The most promising item in the Yorkville catalog for me is the Unity series, the U15 or U215. Besides using the Unity horn, the three-way design crosses around 1200 and 300hz. The woofer is used well inside its comfortable range. The Unity speakers are even designed to biamp, so you can use your 8W SET on the horn and a big solid-state amp on the woofer. A passive upstream crossover on the SET amp would lessen the load still further, and perhaps make a nice result.
