How powerful is a Wavac MD-300B

You may like the MD but you do like the EC. Depending on the speaker (and your ears), the differences could be small or huge.

From reading your posts, I think the EC is the one for you. Yes, it's more expensive but there is an old saying: "Sometimes the cheap comes out expensive".

I have and love 300b amps. They all had that glorious midrange but the better ones have extension in both directions.

My only worry is whether the MD can drive the Tannoys. I dont want the deepest bass at this point, but mid bass required to enjoy stuffs like Dire Straits, Guns n Roses etc should be there and adequate.

By the way, I am considering their preamp, the PR-X2. On their website they specify an output impedance of 10 kohms!! Could that be a typo ?

Don't know. It would probably be best to contact Wavac directly with that question.

I've seen a few cases over the years, involving components made in countries in which English is not the native language, where the "output impedance" spec was really referring to minimum recommended load impedance. Don't know if that is the case here.
