and that also may be a bonus in a small room.
Not going thru a passive x/o could make your 1.5 watts sound like 3 or 6.
For recs: I owned a couple pairs of Omega Loudspeakers when I first started with SETs. A particularly nice pairing was a pair of Fi 2a3 monos driving the Omega Super 3r. I subbed some 45 tubes in the Fi's (with a rectifier change) which gave me less that 2 watts and the Omegas were "only" 93 db. Got a big "I can't believe this" from my wife when I put on a Patricia Barber CD. Me too.
It was hard to wrap my head around the fact that what I was hearing could be achieved with just a few watts. I pays to let go of preconceived notions.
Add a powered sub if you need it.
