Are class A tube amps similar to class A solid state ...

in that small watts can drive electrostatic speakers ? 25 watt Mark Levinsons are famous for driving difficult loads . Have experienced it myself with a 60 watt class A Musical fidelity integrated driving my electrostats. Looking to try some tube amps for King Sound King v1 speakers . King Sound makes a 80 watt amp that is intended to be used with the most recent version of my speaker. It can be seen on their website . Some specs are shown . Leads me to believe there is a good match tube amp out there somewhere to drive them . Budget is around $2500 used . Thanks

The first time I heard this was from the shop that sold me the 6 x 9 Jensen triax speakers, with Pioneer AM/FM Cassette deck that I put into a z28 Camaro. 1979? ... I was around 17-18? 
Nothing has changed re: needs to be 10 times the power to sound twice as loud. My taste in cars did change. American, to Japanese to German. 

Oh God, me too!  I had a Nissan Z at the time (Datsun)  I loved that system.

Happy Listening.
