Hi,
Re: de Capos. I'm not sure what you mean by "low powered." I'm sure you could run the de Capos on 8-10 watts, maybe less, and they would sound fine. However, as I posted above in response to another thread, while I find that the de Capos are fine w/ 27W of power (VAC Avatar in PP triode) listening to "small scale" music, I perfer the VAC in ultralinear at 60 watts (now that I have NOS Mullards) when listening to "large scale" music (ie, Beethoven's 5th or 9th). I believe that the de Capos are capable of signficant, clean LF response and energy in a small to medium sized room, w/ the right amp. If that matters to you, you might want more power w/ the de Capos than 8-10 watts.
