I have EH KT88's in the mono amps. They replaced TAD KT-88's. The KT-88's are driving my Nautilus 800's in a room that is 24' feet long and 18 feet wide. My listening position is about 38% from the back wall, escapes me exactly right now, but anyway at that position I can listen at 1/3 volume hitting 90-95dbs all day long, with ease and a lot of room to spare, more then enough volume for me. If I wanted to go higher I could go to 11 and the volume would be about 100db or so. I have a high/low gain setting on my preamp which is set to low.

The outboard power supply capacitors offered improvement in bass, depth and more dynamic punch. I think they add about somewhere from 45,000 to 60,000 PF's per power supply. I can run the monoamps without them, but then the sound is not as powerful or detailed as with the extra power supplies. The mono-amps drive these speakers to almost the same volume levels without the external power supplies as I have not driven them to ear splitting levels.
