Hi Sunnyjim, like all high rez speakers the amp and cable are extremely important. I have owned the SE about a year ago. I agree with Emfoods second paragrph. when I owned them I could get them to sound laid back, bright, dark, Heavy, lightweight, hyped, ear bleeding screaming wanting to run for cover. I have tried close to a dozen amps on the SE and TE. And about as many wire combinations. Feel free to email me and tell me what kind of sound you are looking for. Maybe I can be some help. SS will work fine but with this speaker I highly recommend tubes. Especially SETs or OTLs. properly set up and with the right gear they are capable of outstanding soundstaging, dynamics and transprency. The bass will depend on the wire and amp used. Some think that SS will give the best bass performance. I found this not to be true with this speaker. If you decide on the SE be sure to get the latest version. Best of luck.
