Kestrals and SETs?

Check out the Mastersound DU Vente from Italy, killer single ended integrated but it is not a SET, it is based on the EL34 output tube. 20 watts a channel. I have seen them on Audiogon for around $1200 used. I almost bought one after hearing it but decided to build my own.

Thanks, the fact you prefer/use a single driver vs the Kestrals says enough without detailing in "audiophile terms" of your choice. I will add your experience into the yeah camp. Untill I'm able to introduce my Moth to another type of speaker it really is silly to interpret-transfer words into sounds. I appreciate your insight.

I agree that you should view using a single driver speaker as an experiment. It may or may not make you a convert, but it certainly will teach you quite a bit about the differences b/t dynamics and s.d. horns.

In that regard ED's speaker is a no brainer. Cheap, easy to store and easy to sell(it seems). I was very willing to spend more, and viewed this as a short term experiment. Funny though, I've had my meadowlarks out only about 2 weeks in the last 8 months, although, as I've said above, 3 watts just isn't enough to drive them.

have fun.
