Most speakers lie about their efficiency
A 2W no-feedback tube amp is probably 3-5% THD while achieving that power spec.
Of course, the proof is in the sound. Get a 45 amp and give it a go.

Hi Donald - This is a bit off-topic but I'd like to thank you for your succinct answer to why your amps don't have balanced inputs but have balanced outputs.
I notice your headphone amps have universal taps so if one buys it with say 220v and moves to the US can they be easily changed back to 120v?
Lastly, I assume headphone amps are quite quiet in operation so am I wrong in thinking they can serve as a quality preamplifier?
cheers,
Richard
Thanks, I do offer the option of a balanced input on the Stellaris.
Yes, I can reconfigure from 220 to 120 or vice versa.
Regarding dual purposes, it depends on the amp. Some have preamp and headphone outputs; with mine I designed them for headphone-only duties with specific gain and output transformers.
