H_bomb,
Your current amplifier is a 25 watt push pull circuit. So probably about 4 or 5 db more than the 8 watt MQ-300. If you’re listening at your typical SPLs with the volume control (VC) at the 9 o’clock position it suggests that there’re is excessive gain in your system. You would want to utilize much more range with the VC.
Interesting the 8 watt MQ-300 is nearly double the weight of the MQ 88C!! This certainly tells you something about the size (And presumably quality) of the transformers and power supply section. As I noted yesterday the Luxman MQ-300 seems to be an all out effort premium tier SET amplifier.
What are your typical listening levels in your 14 x 16 ft Room? You have nothing to lose with an audition with your speakers. This would settle the matter one way or the other.
