RE: FWIW

I think you will find that even with high efficiency loudspeakers that if the amplifier is clean enough you will find yourself using more power than expected.

I've not seen an SEOTL that really makes an appreciable amount of power. Plus the ones I have seen have been really inefficient- using several high power tubes in parallel to achieve what can be done with just 2 6AS7Gs. I can pretty well guarantee that the 2 6AS7Gs will be audibly lower in distortion as well. Food for thought.
