I do listen fairly close, maybe 6-7 feet from driver.

No issue with volume, the room doesn't lend itself to a lot of volume to begin with.

I did add a sub a couple of months ago, which of course helped, but that was just icing for me. I could easily live w/o the sub.

Mainly it is that 'magic something' that this simple 45/single driver setup has that has me totally addicted.

Thanks for the response and Omega SAM suggestion. Regarding Omega I was thinking possibly these,
Omega Super Alnico High Output XRS

I have had several recommendations for the Zu Soul Supreme, but have a concern based on a note in the Stereophile review where John Atkinson noted a clanky sound quality for piano. As I dig piano that would be a no go.

  Looks like the Zu's have a crossover, which is evil incarnate for low power stuff.
  
  The HO Omegas have 2 drivers and drop to 6 ohms, maybe less.
  Also potential power vampires for fleas.
  
  There's also something to be said for the coherency of a single driver.

    The level of detail with coherence over the covered frequency range is what has drawn me to this amplifier in the first place. Those parameters as you say make a strong case for a single driver solution. Hoping to cover both with a less colored sound. Appreciate those of you sharing your experience. I must say 2.3 wpc is extremely limiting in speaker selection.

      My other gear sounds like Kansas vs Oz.
