Can you give any figures for what percentage of all those who 'listen to
Stravinsky' choose to do so via SET amplifiers?


From talking to people in music groups and on RAT, the term SET comes
up remarkably often. In my own music circle I know of three people - more
than I would have imagined.

I'm not clear why the group you pick out should be of particular
significance. But since you make a statement about them, I'd be interested
to know the answer to my question.


It seems that SET performs especially well with small classical ensembles.


In addition, if we are considering selected groups. What percentage of
those who are involved in professional recording, mixing, etc, always do
so
using SET amplifiers for their monitoring/listening at the time?


From my own experience? None:-)
But I do know of several (myself among them) who monitor with a large
PP valve amp.
