Post Subject: The loudspeakers for a powerful SETPosted by Romy the Cat on: 4/11/2008

The Lamm ML3 made me to think about this subject. Since my negative expectations about the ML3’s Class A2 operation turned out to be wrong  and since we go into expense and efforts (totally unnecessary in my view as DSET make it worthless) and make a powerful full-range SET then what speakers that or those SET might be using?

Do exist any full rage good loudspeakers with mid 90s dB sensitivity that would be full-range-worthy of a powerful SET? Are any 4 sections acoustic systems with sensitivity of LF section compatible to the sensitivity of MF section? Lamm ML2.0 was screwed by the fact that any single commercial loudspeaker that it was used/demoed with was essentially not good enough for that amp. I wonder, if the ML3 is an interestingly sounding amp, then what acoustic system it might be used. With 1200V on plate ML3 has enough spare voltage on the GM70’s grid to allow passing a lot of SET power (I think it should be 35W in A1 rather than 28W). There are some other SETs with 200-250V on output tube grid and able to push 50W-100W if SET power.  I wonder what speakers are out there to mate those amps with.
