Is an SET Amp or Some Variation complementary with my Speakers?

Posted by Berrell88 on May 5, 2017 at 17:48:28:
Gentlemen,

At the risk of exposing my abysmal ignorance on all things SET, I pose a basic question which may be rhetorical. I have always used tube or hybrid push-pull amps (100-200 watts,8 ohms) and am "warming" (no pun) to the idea of pursuing a SET amp. My speakers are 88 dB,8 ohms nominal impedance, ported with a ribbon tweeter. My listening tastes run from classical (primarily) to bluegrass, folk and some jazz.

Is this a fool's errand or is it worth pursuing? Thanks!!
