Thinking About Sampling SET

Hi All,

Thinking, just thinking... about giving SET a try. What would be an inexpensive (read: CHEAP) setup to give it (SET) a fair shot? I already have source components but my speakers are pigs and require a lot of power (35+ watts) to drive so they will not work with a SET amp (Right?).

Budget is small but my expectations are big. I am considering picking up a Bottlehead S.E.X. but they seem kinda pricey... I have also give thought to the new Stereomour... Trying to be cheap and forward thinking... I give up... Asking for ideas... speakers are a killer... I have two different pair already... Harbeths and Paradigms... Both want POWER! ...I have tried to sell the P's 4 diferent times with no luck and I am not selling the Harbeths until I know that I like SET...
