I think it safe to say that the ML2s are about the finest SETs made.
For many years I used comparable 4 chassis 3 Dimension Audio SETs. That was until I .also changed to a speaker that needed more power.
I learned a lot from my thread “ Is there a SS amp that can satisfy a SET guy?”. The ultimate answer was no. The musicality and warmth of a SET cannot be truly captured in SS. And push pull tube amps also don’t get there. However, if you love SETs, you call it warmth. If you don’t love them it is distortion. And the most significant comment in the thread was “SETs are like a sonic screwdriver that loosen the tone”. But SS amps “tighten” the tone to be somewhat too much. I learned, for me, the answer to my quest. Atma-Sphere OTLs. Simply, Atma amps are like two SETs that function in push pull. The result is a sound that captures the musicality and warmth of a SET with the detail of SS. I got my Atma M-60 amp on trial and knew within the first 30 seconds that I had found an amp that not only satisfies but excels. The 140 watt MA-1 would be the answer for you. But at a much lower price, the 60 watt M-60s would be good. Especially if you use them with Speltz Zero Autoformers which can raise the impedance allowing the amps to better drive your speakers. Talk to Ralph at Atma-Sphere. He is a real straight shooter and a great guy. He is very well known and respected on this forum.
