[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 857925, member: 18"] It depends. I remember a 3W SET built by John Nouwens that started to muddle the sound stage by -20dB and was mush by -10dB on a band-limited ~103dB sensitive mid way. Effectively it would have been a 10W amp if one works out the band-limiting that started to act funny beyond 100mW and was out of whack by 1W . There is a definite issue with quality when one starts to look at valve amps, most current solid state amps of any repute are not obnoxious unless clipping. It is something to listen to attentively, for those religiously inclined towards their valve amplification there are very few loudspeakers that'll actually do 95dB. [/QUOTE]
