> I know where you are coming from with the tube vs SS , SET requires good design and the right speakers load to deliver , in other words "effort " where SS is much easier and plug and play for the most part with very little effort and little to no maintenance ..
No, that's not really the situation, at least as far as my system is concerned.
My speakers are unfussy in as much as all amps can be used without horrors. When I bought the Avantgardes, many people said that horns and SETs were the made-in-heaven combination, so I acquired a good SET. My circumstances at the time allowed me to try other SETs for prolonged periods of time and I loved them all - except the buzzing Graaf and the dreary AN.
It was only after 10+ years that I thought that there surely must be a SS amp that sounded at least as good as the SETs. After all there are thousands to choose from compared with the "cottage industry" of SET builders - good as they are.
You will see from my other posts that my search for an equally exciting SS amp took quite a while and included some serious disappointments. However I feel I've achieved what I set out to do - find a SS amp that allows my horns to sing as beautifully as the SETs.
