I'm not following Harley52's math, but I found that a 300b was fine w 89 dB speakers in a medium sized room (14 x 23 x 8.5 = 2735 cu. ft.) if I wasn't pushing them to high spls. If your room is truly small (12 x 12 x 7.5 = 1080 cu. ft, which means my room is 2.5X bigger)), I would imagine that the combination would be adequate, unless you wanted to try to play back large scale classical or hard rock at high spls. One advantage of tubes is that they generally clip much more gracefully than ss.
Are these speakers fully compatible?
I have a 10 watt 300B tube SET amp with these specs:
Power output: <= 10W x 2, THD <= 3%, 1Khz
Frequency response: 16—38 Khz, -2dB
Output impedance: 8 ohms
Signal/Noise: >= 90 dB
I was thinking about getting a pair of John Blue bookshelf speakers for my small room and the speakers have these specs:
Efficiency : 87 dB / W / mImpedance : 6 OhmMax power : 30 W
Would I be better off getting a pair of speakers with a 90dB effiency or higher?
