The advantage of SET in a small room is you don't need humungous speakers

Posted by samtellig on September 24, 2010 at 05:27:45:
Thanks for all your insights, Tom, but I have to disagree, in part.

I look on a small room as an opportunity to do SET with reasonably sensitive small, stand-mounted speakers. Models from Tekton and Omega come to mind. And some DIY plans using Fostex drivers. Or small horns from Ed at the Horn Shoppe.

There are others -- including some models from Triangle and ProAc. Even something like the Dynaudio Excite A12 might work with 8 to 10 watts.

There IS something thrilling about SET on a pair of large speakers in a large room.

But there is also someting special about SET on a pair of small speakers in a small room.

These are different experiences. Maybe our friend should experience both.
