Therefore IMHO all AN speaker are all too small and so are there poweramps.
A sweeping broad brush statement if there ever was one. 😊 A clear example of to each their own.

CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM
Dear All,
I got hooked by the SET sound and am considering selling my Audio Research based system (REF 5 SE preamp and REF150 power) and Wilson SOPHIA 3 speakers. In exchange I would buy a level 3/4 system. M3 phono balanced input pre, P3 Tonnmeister power and AN E AN-E-SPe HE 98db or AN-E/SPx ALNICO 95 dB speakers.
However, considering the good quality I already have, I fear being a little downgraded. Wonder what is your opinion.
My room allows corner placement, and has 30 m2 with 2,4 m height ceiling.
Best regards,

an interesting experiment for you try, just for fun. A friend had a difficult room setup and had his Sasha Daws in a room that required placement closer to a wall/corner. They were boomy and completely overloaded the room, tonal balance all wonky. We devised a plan and fitted a flexible hose from a shop vacuum securely into the rear firing Wilson port and rerouted the port output to the front. The hose for each speaker was then terminated into a repurposed subwoofer enclosure where he could adjust the bass by adjusting the quantity of dampening fill in the enclosure. It shouldnt have worked well…but he still uses the contraption. People always ask what brand of subwoofer…LOL. Its an easy experiment to see if you can reclaim some floor space without losing the music.
This might give you some idea of room gain adjustability that your particular corners will project. |
@thastum What monoblock SET amps provide 80WPC? The highest wattage SET I'm aware of use 845 tube which may provide somewhere around 20WPC. |

As @larryi noted , very likely the 1610 tube is capable of considerable single tube power. Charles |
