Calling all SET fans

Schubert,
Why not listen to DeVore 0/96 or 0/93? Maybe Rethm? Coincident Triumpth? Each several times, perhaps six or seven times your budget, but hey, maybe "you can s-t-r-e-t-c-h a bit". Rob

If building around a particular SET amp, its only gonna pay to hear speakers with the chosen amp more so than ever. What speakers sound like with other amps will not mean much.

Schu already has the Triangle Titus speakers to try with his current EE amp and then maybe with teh new SET that I think have a chance to work well. I would wait to hear that first before making any other moves regarding speakers.

As usual the genius of the one and only Mapman strikes again .
I'm listening right now to my Triangle Titus 202's, the cheapest speaker (600$) ever to be a Stereophile Class B , with my 8 watt EE Minimax integrated . They are fast as lighting and coherent as hell with a cap crossover at 6 K.
VERY realistic tone and staging , one of those hard to shut off jobs . At a rated 90db eff I never thought to use then with the little Minimax with Hitachi 6BM8's , but the presentation is flawless !

Smokes everything else I have on hand in my small condo,
Meadowlark Kestrel 2 and Eagle
Silverline Prelude
Totem Model 1 Sigs
Gallo CL-3
Rega R1

Wire is Morrow MA-5 and SP-4 biwire .
I have less than a grand into the speakers and amp and about $500 in wire .Wish I knew this 20 years ago, but I was too busy listening to music ,

Schubert, you made my day.

Glad to hear it seems to be working well. This may well accelerate my plunge towards a flea powered tube amp to use my Triangle Titus XS sooner rather than later.

Just goes to show to always take specs with a grain of salt. I see no reason why most any amp including SET would not do well with the Triangles. They are hard to beat in their price range as you describe and they have a reputation from users for sounding best with tube amps to start.

Now, I will wait to hear results with Triangles and SET or SEP, if you are still inclined to take things even further in that direction. The EE amp seems pretty sweet already. Its one I have considered as well from time to time.
