Inexpensive Tube Amps

YOU need to read the current thread. You are confusing this OP with another. This OP has not purchased any tube amp as of yet, ( including a Yaquin ), just sayin. Best.....

@lowrider57 , yes I was referring to you. Your statement, then, does not make sense. Sorry, no offense. 

@will62 I think your attitude stinks. This is a free and open forum, with people who are jumping in trying to help you. Read, and use the information that is best for you, but come on man. Apologize to everyone else whose info might not cater to your needs, as they are still trying to help. BTW, if you read your initial post/question, you do not sound like you have heard any tube amps at all. Much success to your purchase. Always, MrD.

will62 has not shown up for a while, as I suppose a few of us hurt his feelings.......

Besides efficiency, it is relative to the volume desired from the listening chair and the music being played. My home made 1 wpc class A amp ( a modified Citation 12 ), drives my Lascalas very well, but 1 or 2 notches higher on my preamp, or playing a song or 2 from Peter Gabriel ( just as an example ), and it runs out of steam. Enjoy ! MrD
