Trelja.. I agree with your comments. A 2A3 amp is best suited for horns or 100+db sensitive speakers. You will get sound from them, but you will not get the magic these low powered amps have to offer. I had a Cary 2A3 on my Vonschweikert VR-6's at one time. I thought it sounded great. After some time I realized that it was not a good match. I then bi-amped and ran the Cary 2A3's on the mid/tweet module and the sound really opened up and came alive. I also heard the 2A3 on the silverlines. Not a good match at all. The Vonschweikerts, Silverlines and similar dynamic speakers need at least 20 - 30 watts to overcome the x-over and the dynamic drivers. I now have a Bel Canto SET 40 on my Vonschweikert VR-7's. The sound is wonderful. Good bass control, great dynamics and the fabulous SET mid-range. The flea power amps are best suited for 100+db horns or lowthers. The 845 , 211 based SET amps can offer a SET sound for those with speakers about 90+db. mike
