Post Subject: I can continue with SETPosted by noviygera on: 12/6/2014

Considering all "cautions" mentioned by Paul and rawuk regarding SET capriciousness to crossover and speakers I am confident that I will NOT have any problems related to the above cautions of crossovers or speaker loads. I use an active line level crossover in front of the amps and all my horn channels are above 10 ohms. However, there may be other problems...
1. So DSET is just a SET with line lever crossover (active or passive)? 2. For now, I can try to put HIGHs, MIDs, MIDBASS (lower limit 100Hz) on SET. I believe I do not need three 40 watt SET to heat my room.
So, on to other problems or peculiarities to consider when choosing the first SET amp: Again is possible to generalize here to narrow down: For example, there are a few of EL84 based SET out there, 1-2 watts of power. Yes I have efficient speakers, but still, 1-2 watts. Can this be enough even for multi-way horns?
For sure someone that has horns and tried a few different SET can give me a sense of direction.
regards, Herman
