BTDT=Been There Done That." I can see the logic of this approach, but I'd do the reverse. I've spent years and years with boxes - Tannoys, BBC speakers, even Vitavox 15" and horns at one stage. I always and in all circumstances preferred panel speakers - Quad, Apogee, Maggies. These are the ones that sound like music does to me, and by a substantial margin. So I'd compromise on the amp, hence my postings on higher powered SETs, trioded pentodes and PP 300b amps. I have no immediate intention of going back to boxes, and certainly not horns. We know quite well that higher power SETs or DHTs exist - where's the huge problem?
