My reading was different. It seems Mike Sanders complained about the high distortion in SET amps, and concluded that his 15wpc Mini Horn was better overall. SET amp distortion is non-linear; it's hideous at full power. If his speakers need a 15wpc amp, then a 3wpc SET amp won't do, at least not as good as his Mini Horn.If he indeed never used very high efficiency speakers in his 1-year-or-so experiment on SET (as I recall correctly from the article), then the story might be quite different when he needed very little power at much lower distortion and with all the juiciness of SET.
