Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Yea, it's half and half

You will get a taste of set.

But sets real openness and what it can really do will not emerge so much.

We kind of have to accept the notion that what we are looking for is really tied to as high an effeciency speaker as we can get.

Not too long ago, I passed up on those highly tooted and somewhat remarkable field-coil speakers because i think they were only up to 95 db effeciency. I certainly could have enjoyed them for what they do: I remember the speakers for remarkable nuance, clarity and detail. The direction of the qualities of openness, realness and presence is way more important to me, so I am pretty well tied to the notion of high effeciency it seems.

When it's not so high effeciency and also two-way or three way speakers, I think it's more in the direction of other audio gear and less towards something maybe quite unique to set or its potential.
