A Question about amps....

SS amps 'report' power as "x" watts @ 8 ohms, and "2x" @ 4ohms (usually close to double,but always more than 'x')

Tube amps seem to report "x" watts w/ 4,8, & 16 ohm taps

A laymans explaination of "why" the difference would be appreciated and educate me (feed the addiction)

Current system is: Rotel 951cd->CJpv10->CJ SA250 -> Dynaudio Aries
Speakers are 89db @ 4 ohms

thanks
