I'm actually only concerned with the first couple of watts as I very rarely turn things up at all and I can use a transistor amp for that if I wanted. The system is set up to provide as much resolution at low level as possible. The room is not big 14 feet square & 11 foot ceiling and I only sit about 4 feet from the speakers. The Waves were intended to stand in whilst I build some valve amps and to use as a reference point. If I can't do better than them then I better change my cheapskate ways and cough up for the bigger ASLs.
