RE: output power

"In out amps the output tubes will also run cooler and last longer- the amp will actually draw less power from the wall as well. The speaker cable would be really non-critical too."

Real world, class A runs hottest when putting out little or nothing. I suspect that the impedance of the speaker with average drive (likely under 1W) won't affect the temperature of the active devices (tubes) very much given the dissipation of class A.
