Big ole horns on SET do not have realistic, and natural bass, unless you have a sub

Decware seems to be well loved by tube newbies and people without big ole horns

My modded 15-watt Red Wine Clari T digital amplifier cranks on traditional bookshelf cone spkrs definitely loud enough, with tight bass

The soft clipping of tube amplifiers doesn't sound like weakness or distortion, where clipping on solid-state amplifiers sounds harsh-

There are a lot of things that SETs or single driver spkrs cant do, but one thing they do is communicate the emotion of the music-[]

Duke:

That's really hard to believe. I have never seen a square wave response with a tube amp that was correct.

do you listen to Square Waves ...or ...Music ..???

Duke:

You got me there. Square waves sound terrible.

They do if they don't have wimpy output iron. Nonetheless, I have subs, but rarely run them when using the SET amp.
