Never heard of anyone blowing a tweeter with a flea watt tube amp. There are audible signs of a problem long before any damage can occur even with solid state amplifiers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what music you play, but I have pretty much used the amps in question. I just recently posted this today if you are interested in amps of that power range including SET's. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/first-watt-sit3-vs-dynakit-st35#2405837 I was once on the wait list for a Torri but went another direction instead. Decware's main mission is to make all their amps sound as close to the 2.3 watt Zen as possible, but obviously they had to go to a push pull design to bring up the power over single ended. Hope it all works out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
