A 9 watts SET for the Maggies, Heavenly marriage


For the heading, I need to start a new thread; this is because the last thread does not do the Audio Note the justice.
The comparison among all those EAR, Pass labs, YBA and the little, David, Audio Note kit one, does illustrate that if we can relate our live musical experience, the SET certainly rules.
For whatever reasons, I like to have advice on higher powered SET amplifiers for the Maggies
Please advice

Who cares about the only sweet spot if that is being occupied by oneself.
Listening to the Maggies is the best experience one can ask for given that the rest of the box speakers are colored to begin with.
We come to this world alone and we will go back to whereever we are from alone; who cares about the 12" to 15" wide of listening sweet spot, right?
Maggies is my life and SET is my soul; live music is my destiny, right?
Long live the SET
The reason why I mentioned XA is because Robert wants the sound of SET, XA is much better candidate than X-150.

About the power, I'm not sure since my Dunlavy is more sensitive and XA-160 can do very good job. OTOH, XA sould be not be worse than the rest of SETs he mentioned. BTW, XA .5 version probably are better for difficult load.
Hello, everyone,
Thanks for the response and yes, I understood the Pass Labs XA.
But, are they SET, Single end Triode?
Please advice
By the way, how does the X150 compare with the XA?
I believe it is the bottom of the food chain, right?
