Thanks. And for your reading pleasure, meters are a lot more directional than ears. What you measure depends as much on what you play, and what meter settings you use (weighting, peak or average, etc) and may bear little to no resemblance to what you hear. There is no meter ever made with a scale that measures listener satisfaction. We've all heard for example systems that really only "come alive" at certain levels. Metering never caught a one of these. There's a reason mine has been gathering dust now not for years but decades.
In my book the only "meter" that counts is your ears. On that score you already said your Parasound does a "fantastic" job in powering them. Rather than factor what you measure with a meter at one meter I factor what you hear with solid state and tube watts. All the tube amps I ever heard give the impression of SS amps that measure two to three times the watts. So really, you should be fine.
All the more so if you use the sub switch. In that case, using the 80Hz bypass (ideally with a DBA) you are just about guaranteed to be fine. Better than fine. Louie.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vY-4zWKsJM
