First Watt Sit-3 paired with Klipsch Cornwall lV?

@sns

i would concur with what you have found

with very high efficiency horn loaded speakers, even the ’sweet’ solid state amps do not sound vaguely like flea watt tube units like 300b single ended amps.... those are much more rolled off, midrange centric, with much more sympathetic distortion at play

not better or worse, that is a matter of personal taste, but the music presented is surely much different

I'd call it a terrible misuse of a fine amp.

But if it must be so be it!

I purchased a SIT-3 today, and I’m going to compare it to my Pass XA-25. After a month or two I figured I’d sell one or the other. Eventually I’d like to buy a Coincident 300b Frankenstein or an Audio Note Conqueror to go along with my Coincident Statement Preamp. I’d really like to keep one Solid State amp in the fold.

If it’s a train wreck, I have no issues letting everyone know.

I will look forward to  your findings.

I have a prediction which one will win.
