Thanks everyone - sorry to get tube toplogy debate going on this forum but I suspected a lot of tube users in general with the higher sensitiviy speakers.

There appears a slight preference (or complete one for Rich) towards SE - also a tip of balance on mids even using UL or pentode 6BQ5. I'll make a blind stab that a push-pull triode amp with no diff-amps (SE input) and slightly unbalanced phase-inverter may close the gap a bit(?) - I like p-p simple. In either topology w/o nfb the speaker's Z and tap selection/reflected Z can have a lot of influence on tonal balance.

My ancient Edgarhorn system sounds fab on 'naked ladies' LP of Jimi's 'Electric Ladyland' using my 5842/417A IT coupled LCLC supply parallel 2A3 amp - guitar and mix are "alive" - in comparison when putting the so-called remastered CD on a solid state amp my immediate reaction is to turn the music off - its destroyed period. Have never made it hrough the CD without cringing.

Freddy

PS - to align with Rich - I may give a stab again at SE soon and upgrade my 417A's IT
