My thread about SET amps, and horn speakers not OTL nor PP or other magnificent tube/ valve designs I Was expected to hear from SET Amps owners and their experience with horn designs not daring to argue about which is best or worst, some listeners tries to invite musicans into their listening rooms some claims singers singing at to them even some says just like being there, what ever floats our boats as long as we are happy and enjoy listening music.as far I know everything copy of copy nothing is original even in terms of Audio engineering J.Futterman came up Design of with OTL amps rather talented E.engineers improve or re create their own design ''hats off ''to all talented unique engineers after or simple design like SET Amps goes back 1900 still makes marvelous music, no wonder P.Walker once said keep it short and simple K.I.S.S.
what is your opinion ?
Hi everyone, last 18 years I've got hooked up to vintage Tube amplifiers, prior to that I was rather happy with SS muscle amps driven to my Apogee Scintilla and Duetta sig's truly open 3D soundstage Few tube amps was able accept Apogee marriage but not as good as SS amps, until I ended up bargain priced infamous Altec's voice the theatre speakers not a wife pleaser but luckly I've got a dedicated music room, never looked back since then ,,WE design 91 , WE46C , RIP Don Garber, even loftin White design SET amps T.Mayer Attilio Caccamo of Tektron some genious Japanese design SET Amps they all have unique presantation complimented by incredable sound of 45, 2A3, VT52,300B, E406N, even modern production Sophia 206 , and many more ! my question is why these old school design audio sounds nearer to reality ? naturally we are all aware of room acoustics tuning our rooms etc, etc are we listening equipment or music ? do we really need furniture grade Audio equipment ? or maybe we humans are we trying to re invent the wheel again ?
