Put complex sounds in or attach the wrong speaker and your typical
SET will sound like ****.

I am sure we all agree that they are no appropriate for all types of
music, but for those who listen to small ensembles, SET can sound
remarkably
good.

Contrasts with SS amps which sound good with a wide variety of music and
speakers.

But do they sound "remarkably good?" :-))

The sound remarkably like their input signal.........

I don't know what motivates people who listen to Stravinsky to buy SET
amps. But the fact is that they do, as a matter of choice.
Can you explain it?

Fashion? Of course, hundreds of times more people listen to Stravinsky
through SS amps, so the choosers of SET amps are no more (or less!)
unusual than are riders of recumbent bicycles. There will *always* be
those who choose to march to the beat of a different drum - somewhat
muffled in the case of SET amps, of course! :-)

My cellist friend plays professionally in a quartet. Each member of
his ensemble, has bought an SET amp after hearing his. If he takes
up a vacancy in a symphony orchestra, he will be able to set up as
a SET amp dealer:-))

The power of suggestion is well known!
