Must agree with the misnomer reference. Tube gear when designed correctly carry a very nice punch and can drive well even inefficient loads. Why do you think they build 200 wpc monoblocks? Please get this out of your head.
I took my VTL Tiny Triodes (25 wpc triode) to a shop and drove the crap out of a pair of Martin Logans. The bottom end held together, midrange was what was expected and sweet highs.
Find a decent tube integrated, haul it around and hook it up to speakers in shops. You will not be disappointed.
