Unless the room is small and or hardwood floors, less than 250wpc is asking for the amp to run out steam. I measured the draw from a 90wpc amp, tubes in fact, with the 3.6, and making less than 91db at the listening position, I was out of power. The meter pegged. Get a Monster 4bsst or 14bsst if the room is big and you like loud. Tubes are fine if you like no bass drive in a big room. Try both, and measure the power output and db in the room. The facts will speak for themselves. Jallen
Expand the options and consider biamping with an outboard xover, tubes on top, SS on the bass, and xover a sub at 40Hz, say a pair of JL audio subs. A big room can now be filled.
