Rocket 88's do they offer enough power?

I have the R version running a pair of merlin TSM-M's at 86db and they are right at the minimum of where I'd like to be in triode. I'm not a volume freak so it works perfect for me. The non R version has 30% less power and it would not work as well for my set-up. I switched to UL for the extra power but find the Triode too sweet a sound to pass up. I second Dhaymond, this is a great amp.

I have the Rocket 88 r-series and run it only in triode (30 wpc) mode with Snell K.5's (86 db). So far I have not run across any situation where I was wanting for power, and even if I did, I imagine I could just switch over to ultra linear at 60 wpc and I would be golden.

This amp rocks with all types of music, I highly recommend it but can not speak for the non-r series.

Good Luck
