>>>Why not 99db or more, or 98db etc? <<<(( the 100 was aprox. I have some speakers that are 96 db-ESP bodhrans, nice speakers, and got good sound with SETs from them, but when I switched over to horns, I realized there was just so much *more* to the music that I was hearing. ))
How do you know 90db horns would not sound just as good?
>>>I have heard a all tube 2A3 SET amp with TAD horns and thought it was sterile, thin, metallic and harsh. <<<
(( There *are* bad horns out there-many of the klipsch for example. ))
This is common when someone doesn't like horns. There are many people in this forum with this particular speaker in their homes. The same people telling me "my horns are magic with SET and your speakers aren't".
(( OTOH, what you heard could have been bad speakers, bad speaker placement, bad amps, or bad sounding tubes. ))
Bad sounding tubes? GMAB! I can not put into words how bad it sounded to me. The speakers got all kind of rave reviews on mags and in this asylum.
>>>What is best is just a opinion.<<<
(( That may be, but it is still unfortunate to have an amp that is underutilized. ))
In your opinion :-)
