Gordan, I think you are missing the accent of what I meant to say. The Class A or not is not important for compression drivers and the S3 in particularly. I mean it is important and it much be ONLY class A but I do not see any SS amps switching in class B or even in A2 driving a load of few miliwatts that S3 driver would be. Sure it shall be A1 and preferably not PP but still it would be across all drivers, not necessary S3. What I meant was a specific predisposition of driver with ceramic magnets to SS amp. Do not ask me explanation or evidence - I do not have any. Still, dealing with many drivers (not recently, I went over in during 1999-2003) I remember that alnico drivers were fine with tube amplification (I used Lamm ML2.0 at that time). If I had however ceramic drivers I did prefer them with Lamm M1.1 SS amp. The SS amp is inferior to ML2.0 in many characteristics but with SS compressions drivers it did force them to sound with more exiting transients then tubes amps did.
You have a power amp with 10Y in output? That is very nice. The Milq direct-coupled version with 10Y in output is the only tube that I would like to try for MF channel with S2. If I had 550-600 voltage in Milq then I would do it…
