Accuphase Class A or A/B speaker match Dynaudio C1


I am looking for any help in making a decision on an Accuphase integrated to run my Dynaudio C1's. My concern is the low output of the class A vs. the A/B. Will the class A do the job, in a relatively large room? My listening preference is jazz.

Thanks.

I have a 70 watt@4ohms tube integrated (Octave V70SE) running class A/B driving my C1's. The power is fine. I replaced my Bryston B100 rated at 180 watt@4ohms. The Octave just crushes the Bryston in power - control and dynamics. Even though the C1's do sound their best at higher listening levels the Octave brought me much more pleasure listening at low to mid levels which is my normal listening levels. What I'm trying to say is you really to listen for yourself and don't get too caught up in watts. I know that doesn't answer your question regarding class A vs class A/B.
