SET amps with cajones and finesse


I am considering trying out an SET amp(s) for my Talon Raven speakers. They are 90db efficient and my current 150 watt ss amp is more than enough to drive them to deafening levels. Any suggestions for SET amps to perhaps add some soul without losing the swagger? I have been advised that ample power supply is the key. Thanks MM

I beg to join Avguy; if there's a way to bi-amp your Talons, then use a medium output set for the highs & keep the ss for the bass. If not, you'll have to dish out giga$ for a very hefty tube that can provide voltage & energy at low frequencies.
IMO, OTL is a good bet because power SET's prices are exponentially linked to two incosequential things called PS & output tranny:) While all amps have PS, at least OTL's lack the second (as an indication, retail for excellent output trannies for a 300B easily reach $2k -- that partly explains prices for the wavacs of this world).
Cheers
