Its not my requirements.

The issue here is the OP is using speakers that are bit low in efficiency for use with SETs. I find that if you push an SET hard enough that it sounds 'dynamic' you're pushing it too hard, since that dynamic quality is caused by distortion. This is why you see so many comments about how 'dynamic' an SET is for its power output in reviews. They're simply asking too much power of them.

I suggested that he get an amp of at least 60 watts but to be successful with that kind of power he's going to need an amp that he can push to at least 90% of full power. You can't do that with SETs, not if you want to hear what they are all about.

This particular transformer is a bit curious as its equipped with a feedback winding. Have you heard it with the feedback applied?
