RE: Who thinks SS systems are generally more "truthful" than SET systems

I think most of the SET systems I have heard sound more "real" and "life like" than ANY SS system I have heard.

I have been a SET/horn owner for ~two decades and all SS sounds subtly wrong IMHO. Perhaps I am just comfortable with the sound I identify as SET sounding but SETs have more detail, more cohesive sound, more believable tone, etc etc.

I can enjoy music from any system but SETs really do it for me. I have not heard a SS amp in years that caused me to say "I need that" but I regularly hear plenty of SETs that do that. Most of these SET amps are DIY so I can't really throw out component names for you.
