C12366 is right about transformers. I have an AirTight 300B amp (8-10wts) with Tamura trannies designed just for this amp. I have beautifully extended, pristine, natural highs. However, because of the speakers I use (ProAc 2.5s) the bass is a tad soft. With 30 or more watts, the ProAcs will do superb bass. I also use an REL Strata II which works wonderfully with the speakers run full range. Proper transformer design is the key to proper frequency extension in SETs. SETs can do everything with proper trannies and appropriate speakers.
Unfortunately, I have to disagree about Klipsh speakers - I've never heard one that sounded musical. Oh yeah, it helps to have a small or medium sized room when creating music through SETs.
One more thing, last week I was listening to a live CD from the original Fleetwood Mac, "The Boston Tea Party", from 1970. Hard driving rock and roll which my SET banged out just fine.
