Maybe someone has experience using Decware on wildly incompatible speakers and can offer up some comments. I have two sets of speakers that I listen to. The main ones, Audience The One speakers, are in a desktop system. These contain a single 3" driver, so no crossover. They are fast as hell, but at 84 db sensitivity, are not anywhere near what Decware recommends. I listen at really low volumes though where peaks, when listening "loudly", are generally around 75db. Would an SE84UFO be able to run these AND sound good doing it? I am sure I could get the volume, but wondering if the musicality that SETs are known for would come thru. I also have a 1957 Ampex console. The electronics are gone, but the speakers still work. They are somewhere around 93db, are pretty muddy in the bass, but they have this really nice ability let go of the notes, probably due to the high sensitivity. The only downfall I can see in pairing them with the SE84UFO would be that they most likely are 16 ohms (although I do not know that for a fact). From what I have read, the amp likes to see much lower impedances. Would this work? Is it even worth trying or should I stick to the SS/hybrid amps I am using? The SE34I.5 seems like a better match (possibly), but it looks larger (and hotter) than what I was looking for.
