I would ask your amplifier builder once you narrow down your speaker selection as you have a unicorn for an amplifier. I would also ask him how he built at kt88 SET amplifier. In my 35 years of owning various tube gear have never seen a KT88 SET. Would definitely audition amplifier and speakers hooked up together. Power needs are gonna be dependent on material, room size, volume levels etc. Most likely you have a SEP (pentode not triode) amplifier.
low power tube amp
I am purchasing some new speakers. The manufacturer recommends 40w-200w for the speakers.
I am using a low power 20wpc Class A SET amp. I worry that the low wattage may damage the speakers.
Is my concern valid? I heard tube amp wattage is not the same as solid state. Can someone clarify?
thanks in advance
