Has anyone here answering looked up the specs on his speakers ? I think not !! They are 100 dB efficient.YES, you are correct, IF the SE amp is designed well, properly built, you will get a "special presence" with a SET that a P-P amp will not provide, due to a P-P amp "processing the signal more so" than a SE amp does, due to phase inversion inherent in any P-P amp !!!
Now, the trick is to find a good SET !!!
Contact me via email, privately, and I will be happy to share my opinions on SE amp design, which is not the normal stuff people do !!
