porscheracer,
It doesn't surprise me that you are finding out that 30 Wpc of vintage pure class a pwr not only sounds great but is enough for the volume levels you listen to.
I've used amps with pwr ratings from the 1.4 watts from the MZ2S to 700 watts from the ps audio mono's and every where as practicable in between.
Currently doing quite well overall with 3.5 watts 2a3 Set with the exception of full orchestra recordings that generally have no or very little compression and I'm slightly cheating with some classic rock recordings were I require stout and deep bass with good slam by using my subs,but those 2 genres of music make up a small % of the music I generally listen too.
When I get my new design 2a3 amp built that will have 8-10 watts and easily 3db more headroom it will be a interesting comparison for me.
Happy Listening,
Kenny.
