After getting a shindo masseto pre amp, my next step is to venture into the world of Shindo SET. As I do not have chance for audition, I rely greatly on advice from you guys who have heard the amps in person.

Based on my knowledge, of current production SET amp, the lowest priced is Cortese, followed by lafon gm70 and D'yquem, and reference is WE300B. Are their performance necessarily better up the chain?

I listen to mostly acoustic and vocals on low volume levels. Micro details, tone, refinement and ability to convey emotions of music are important to me.

WE300B aside, which may be prohibitive due to cost, can lafon and d'yquem provide refinement and convey nuances as well as low wattage cortese, while at they same time providing more power?

Any advise is appreciated. High efficiency speaker choice will follow after I make my choice on power amps.
