will old tubes not be as loud as newer ones? i am totally ignorant, but i have an amp now that is 50wpc and its much quieter than i expected, but it is so nice to listen to. very dynamic. i dont know enough about how tubes affect volume.
the first and easiest thing to check is tubes, but it's possible there's something else wrong. I had a similar problem with an amp that turned out to be a combination of bad power tubes, and a bad resistor.
