RE: Help me pick SET monoblocks

I just want to point out that 93dB/W/M is not "SET friendly." Your chip amp turns to mush at higher volumes because it's clipping. This is an indicator you'll need more power or higher efficiency for your preferred listening levels. I don't know how you arrived at 20W as the required power level, but I think that's incredibly optimistic for the scenario you're describing. Even a relatively high power SET needs 98-100dB/W/M minimum speakers for this job.
