Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

45 amp and 95db speakers

I have read Paul Joppa's FAQ post regarding a 45 tube wanting 99db speakers. I have two pre-amps, a Citation 1 and an AR SP-9 feeding a 45 amp. The Citation strains to get good volume, while the gain on the Audio Research is much greater, and rarely goes past 11 o'clock, even for dancing.

So my question is, if the speaker puts out sufficient gain, is there necessity for the 99db speakers? Does using a sub for bass change the requirement, as the cone requires greater travel and more power? I can't wrap my head around the other factors besides gain. Please educate me.
Thanks.
