98,96, 100, what ever. You're still in a pretty efficient range. One or two db's either way are not going to make that much of a difference. As long as you're not using something like a 3 watt SET, or something like that.
You know what we never asked? What ARE you needs and what are you listening too with this amp?

I listen classical, chamber and orchestral. I have a medium size listening room 12'x15', but I don't need it to be super loud.
I think I would be ok with SET or another tube amp but would like the simplicity of integrated, I even thought of hybrid like Pathos. I would be nice to find a CJ cav-50. Have you heard the VTL integrated from around 2000, I listened at a hi-fi shop by me but had questions about power.Thanks Bob

If your tastes go to classical, as do mine, then stick with a tube option. Nothing makes classical music come alive like a tube stereo.Start posting over at the tube forum. I think you narrowed it down to tubes. Now you have to narrow it down to
New vs. old
Integrated vs. amp with passive
output tubes eg, SET vs EL84 or EL34
etc....My setup is a vintage Sherwood S-5000 that was rebuilt and upgraded by Mike Samra. For a remote volume control I use a Bent audio IR module in line with my source. It works very well. and is also an option if you just go with an amp. If you want to know how to make one just email.
