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
thank you for all your responses. yes, i am aware that it may not be the combo which one would choose if building a system from scratch....just that the opportunity to purchase a pair of D38R came about... and I intend to keep my existing amp.

Seems like no one here has direct experience with a SET in that power output range ... anyone tried a 300B amp (8W) on the D38 or D38R? Many thanks.

A 8-10w SET will work gloriously in most circumstance, but in the long run, it will leave you wanting for more power. Don't forget that the D38 is a nominal 4ohm load and some 300B valve amps do not like 4ohms.

min power requirements 10 watts 4 ohms a SET will not be a good match at all.
