FWIW... 1 watt RMS (1kHz sine wave input) = about "12-O'clock" position on his Marantz integrated amp's dial. So, in terms of RMS value --- most music is played back in the 1st watt of power (RMS).

By Missing something, you first need to define what it is you think you may be missing? Are you referring to dynamics, resolution, imaging, etc?
With your speakers, I would be more inclined to use a lower powered tube amp than I would solid state.
A lot of technical advice here that is probably very good , considering the contributors ! Most of it is way over my head .
I think that the more complicated the crossover network , the bigger the bass driver and the lower and more erratic the impedance curve the more power that you need to drive everything properly . I have always wondered
about a 1 or 2 watt amp having the ability to properly drive a 15" bass driver , regardless of the efficiency rating for the speaker .
Just my 2 cents worth .
