Have you seen the video where and where A. Shaw demonstrates that the big Harbeths easily pull 500W on transients?
No offense, but you're cheating yourself using tubes of almost any power level with these speakers. They need lots of power, and are designed for a low-Zout amplifier.
These speakers, while having many great qualities, are not capable of anything close to lifelike dynamics even when given appropriate power. When they are not, they sound especially flat and dull.
