I run the OTO with the J/Spe in a 13 X 16 room and have no problems with grip at higher than I can take levels. Never get the knob past the 12 o'clock position.

The OTO is 10 watts but 4.2 watts un-distorted (and I don't run them to distortion.

I do have them in corners however. The J is easier to drive than the E in the sense that it doesn't dip under 5ohms (the E drops to 3.6ohms). Both according to Hi-Fi Choice. SO while the E is more sensitive the J presents an easier load. I had the K in the same room but at that time I had a Sugden A48b at ~65 watts so the comparison isn't helpful.

The AN K is terrific - I wish I could hear one with foam surrounds and the AN J tweeter - I know that probably can't be done (at least the latter) but I remember a long while ago that Peter would have preferred the K woofer to be foam over rubber but they had to order them in such large quantities that it would not be feasible. I think the J and E breathe more - sound more dynamic and have more heft and resolution.

However, I found the J to take considerably more time to set-up to really get them bang on. The K being sealed perhaps made them much simpler.
