The Battle between Stiffness And Damping Of The Speaker Enclosures!

Very interesting....

They are truly horrible look and now proven flawed in design....

In the 6moons review on page 4, they said they used a 300B amp with only 8 watts and it worked just fine and their room is not small.

I think it depends on the listening level highend666. 

If the gentleman at 6moons prefers listening to a peak level of 85DB, then of course the 8 watt should be sufficient. 

105DB at the listening position with those speakers is probably a pipe dream.

If the specs are correct, then this was entirely inappropriate use of an SET, since it would have been making a lot of distortion to make significant (above conversational level) output. Because much of this distortion would have been higher ordered harmonics on the transients, I bet they were saying it sounded really dynamic. But because the ear uses the higher ordered harmonics to sense how loud a sound is, what was really going on was the distortion masquerading as dynamics.
