That much is reasonable. There is no way an SET has any 'fidelity' any
more than
a tubed guitat amp has fidelity.
The tubed guitar amp is used for its deliberate distortion that adds
colour to
the sound. That's a perfectly reasonable use. I iminagine that SET
listeners
crave the same. Adding 'colour' is the opposite of fidelity.
**Indeed. SET amplifiers are exactly the type of amplifier that Iain praises
so highly. But wait: It gets worse. Much worse. Iain also claims that
Lowthers are capable of serious high fidelity reproduction. His hypocrisy is
simply breath-taking. On one side, he claims that speaker cables have no
effect on *any* system (despite clear proof that it can and does), yet he
also claims that Lowthers and SETs are capable of high fidelity performance
and that it is not the clear and obvious problems associated with such
equipment that SOME listeners focus on.
