Now you know why people love their 8 watt, Class A, 300B tube amps! An occasional distorted, 10 watt peak isn't much to worry about if you normally listen at one half of a watt! Happy Listening
True, and depending on the speaker sensitivity (And listening distance from the speakers) maybe only utilizing 1/20 to 1/10th of a watt at reasonable listening levels (65-75 db).
