[QUOTE="reeman, post: 1075174, member: 14237"] Good topic. As stated earlier its speaker dependant. I have very highly efficient Tannoy double autographs. I have put 300w, 100w class A, 50w class A all in solid-state, but NOTHING sounds as good as a pair of 20w valve amps. Even a Mullard 5-10 sounds better than the high-powered amps. The solid-state amps were top class that I was using as well. Plinius, NAD, Pass Labs. DIY low powered took the win by a country mile. However. Inefficient speakers need the power so to me how many watts you need depends on the application. [/QUOTE]
