Just a thought...
I can certainly second that. If you have horns, you
need tubes. I bi-amplify with an active crossover and use an ultra-linear configuration tube amp for the woofers and a particularly sweet single ended triode amp for the high frequency horns. Although this amp only puts out 5 watts, the horns with efficiencies of 106db/watt are louder than can be tolerated while running less than
one watt: if I gave 'em all five watts, I would be looking at something like 113db SPL
from 600Hz on up!You need tube amps.
