I own the WP8's and drive them with the Conrad Johnson LPS70 tube amp that has 70 wpc. My room is 19 x 25 x 9 and I have no problem driving the WP's. I upgraded the CJ from a 400 wpc McIntosh SS amp. The CJ had more detail. I have never heard the WP's with a SET amp, however.
Watt/Puppies with SET or push-pull???
I've heard rumors that WPs are a bad match for SETs due to their impedence curves. Anyone tried this with good results, or bad results? Push-pull any better?
I'm moving from SS to tubes, and eventually new speakers (maybe Silverbacks). In the meantime, I have WPs (93dB sensitivity seems ok). Wondering what I'm up against with the WPs and tubes.
Probably Shindo SET (8 or 10W), but may do Shindo PP (25 or 40W). Thanks!
