I highly doubt a flea powered SET is going to drive a pair of ATC or Totems. For that kind of amp you need very efficeint speakers that are not only very senstive but also easy to drive. Thier arent very many small standmounts that fit that description, having small drivers already puts them at a disadvatage when it comes to sensitivity. I would check out speakers like Coincident, Triangle, Silverline, Referance 3a which are in the 90's sensitivity range and are madde to work well with tubes. You might go check the HE forum for more ideas. In my expereince people with SET amps tend to use large HE horn speakers like Klipsch, Tannoy, Altec....etc Your amp really limits your speaker choices which is exactly the reason i gave up on SET amps, they sound great with the right speakers, but the right speakers tend to be large and expensive.
