It has been said over and over on hundreds of posts. It is the old horse power vs torque argument in engines. Watts per channel is only a small factor in the overall power of an amp. You can buy an amp with 500 wats per channel that has no power and you can buy an amp with 5 watts per channel that has tons of power. Do the research and reach out to the companies to break down the amps total package and specs. In todays world you might even be able to contact the designer and ask them to define your solution.
Moving away from inefficient/low impedance speaker in order to move to a Tube Amp
I think this is talked about more on the amplifier side...tubes to solid state or vice versa. But as we all know, going with a tube amp requires some effort in choosing the proper speaker. I have Harbeth C7's, which are a very nice speaker....but I'm not willing to spend the money on a high quality 100 watt tube amp. For those that have been in this scenario, please share some additional steps from your journey. Example 1: You had speaker A, but surprisingly found it worked fine with tubes...Example 2: You had speaker A, but it did not sing with tubes, so you found speaker B, and paired it with Tube amp C.....
