Personally, I would sell the amp and look for a lower powered amp if you determine that you really don't need that much power. Two hundred watts is usually way more than one really needs for almost any speaker. I generally don't like the sound of higher powered tube amps that are running a multitude of high-powered tubes, like KT88, KT120, and KT150. These types of amps tend to be "hard" or "harsh" sounding compared to lower powered amps running the likes of 6L6 or KT66 tubes. I would take a 40 watt KT66 or an even smaller 6L6 amp any day over a high-powered tube brute.
Lowering Tube power amp output
Hello everyone,
Wanted to ask the tube power amp users here if there is a way to reduce power output/ heat generation from the amp. I have a Rogue Audio Zeus amp which is rated at 200w/ channel. Can removing some power tubes reduce output power and lower heat dissipation? How can I lower its power draw effectively without causing any damage to unit
