Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

More from the speaker, less from the amp...

That is the way to go I think. With higher efficiency less power (and musical signal) is wasted, and with lower power less distortion is introduced. The combination of the two results in retrieval of very lowlevel information that is lost in the sheer power avenue.

Actually, it is much more complex, as every system has its fault, and the power race begun to extract more of the recorded material (plus get things mass-produced). However, low power amp with very few parts in the signal path + high eff. speakers is the best road that can reveal the harmonic content of the recordings. Other solutions might sound more hifi, or with greater perceived detail, but with an alien, unnatural feeling to it.
