Proac D38R with SET amp


Hi

Anyone here has or heard a pair of Proac D38R driven by a SET amp of relatively low 10Ws per channel? I know the Proac website actually states recommended power from 10W onwards but am not sure of how the speakers will sound with 10W.... i listen mainly to jazz, blues, vocals and some classical, in a 13' x19' room.

thanking you in advance for sharing your experience.

best regards

Hi Fudgeo. While I haven't heard the later D38 mated to a set amp, I have direct experience with the both the response 3.5 and the 3.8 paired with an 18watt/ch KR 18bsi.

Both were outstanding in a medium sized room [18ft x 14ft]
Due to the rather begnign load of the proac,they should mate well with most set amplification providing the amplifier is designed with a quality power supply.
we have set up the Proac D 38s with the Cary 805 Mono Blocks with wonderful results.
I should clarify that the 10W SET amp is part of my existing set up and the Proac is something that I am considering as I was offered this opportunity to acquire...
thanks.
I've heard the Proac D38 mated with 845/211 based SET and they sounded awesome.
I have heard the D38r driven with a 2a3 amp (3w) or so.
Very small room, 3m x 4m. It sounded pretty ok tonally but i felt the amp was not making the most of what those speakers are capable of doing.
I would opt more power if I had the choice.
