Get a pair of clean efficient speakers and a good single ended tube amp as I recently did, and stop chasing watts…my current rig sounds better than anything I’ve had in my home in over 50 years of audio fun…it’s simply funner, and more dynamic somehow (everything I knew is wrong?). Watts SCHMATTS! Note I use a couple of powered REL subs for "under 40hz" duties so maybe I’m cheating a little…still…great sounding, more musical, and, dare I say, more realistic, is just a better thing to have as it’s better. Or as Hawaiians say, Mo Bettah.
