I'm sure many SETS would faulter with the generally horrid impedance swings which are often characteristic of ESL designs, however there is one particular SET of which I own which was expressly designed with ESL's in mind, the EAR 859/869....under none too ideal conditions this amp has stunned a room of listeners with its effortless ability to drive virtually anything thrown at it, including Martin Logans, and Quads, of which it sounded truly excellent, besting some huge, highly regarded and overtly expensive PP tube mono blocks, and this is a SET rated at ~13wrms, indeed an amp of uncanny ability.
A key factor I believe with SET's is in the winding of the irons, and this is where the fish are separated from the fowl...it takes some seriously cluey knowledge of transformers to produce this knd of magic...!
