The 70watts from the Octave v70 are more than enough for my room which is 24x30. At 50% its well over 90db from where i sit which is about 14' back. My speakers are 92db sensitive with powered woofers however. It drives my speakers better then my 225wpc anthem amp. It's a beast.
Integrated amp for tube lover
Downsizing and looking for an integrated amp of 100 or more watts/ channel that will satisfy a tube lover. Not many tube integrated amps fit that power requirement, but open to tube or solid state. Considering Krell K300i, CODA CSiB, Boulder 866 (doubt that it is "tube-like" enough), and Gryphon Diablo 300 (more expensive than I’d like). Can use separate phono and/or DAC. Thoughts on these or others?
