>>Interesting theory too. According to Ohm I shouldn't run them with less than 45 wpc, but when it comes to vintage tubes there is reasonable thought that those theories go out the window since those older manufacturers had different methods for testing wpc.<<The difference between 32 W. and 64 W. is barely audible (3 dB.). The difference between 32 W. and 45 W. rates to be undetectable. Also, Ohm's advice is almost certainly based on the power amp being SS. You don't dare push a SS amp into clipping if you want your tweeters to endure. OTOH, tube amps compress before hard clipping sets in. That allows you to push a tube amp right up to the ragged edge. A Watt is a Watt, but with tubes you can use all that's available. With SS, speaker safety requires power be kept in reserve.
