In Reply to: No, 24 tube watts into 91 db (or more) speakers in a mid sized room posted by keith_d on January 6, 2009 at 16:21:28:
Sorry if I started something here, I never said I couldn't lower the volume, I can. What I can't do is get beyond the 10 o'clock position without blasting myself and my ears to oblivion. At low volume the sound is so veiled and thin I don't bother. I definitely need better speakers and perhaps I went the wrong direction upgrading the amps and source first.
All that said it appears I have a very strong 24 watts of push pull 300b output, more than my speakers or my ears can handle and that's why I'm here looking for advice on new or used loudspeakers. I'm also considering a pair of B&W 802 Matrix Series 3 I could pick up locally from audiogon.
