Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Just 10 watts out of 40 watts? Doesn't look like much!?

But 1 watt is 0 dbW, 2 watts is 3dbW, 4 watts 6dbW, and 8watts is 9dbw. Tthe 2 extra Class-A watts is less than 1 dbW.

16 watts is 12dbW, 32 is 15 dbw, and 40w is <1 dbW more.

The 1st 9dbW of loudness your amp gives is in class A. that's more than half its loudness.
