Full Range Drivers and SET's, why is a classic combo?

Hello to all,

Thinking about go that route...

Wondering what are the main factors that makes this a classic synergetic combo?

Thanks!

I had a pair. Put it in a one-cubic foot box and it will work from 60 hz to 12k hz with fairly flat response and enough sensitivity! Add a subwoofer for the bottom two octaves.

Are these different from the originals (Mk1s?) in regards to ability to run well off SE tube amps? Thanks.

Very tube like sound and a great price
