And don't be *too* dismissive of low output powers. Sometimes, a low power
can be surprisingly effective, if it's driven into a decent speaker. For
many years, I ran a Teleton amplifier, purchased from Laskey's or some such
on the Tottenham Court Road - or maybe it was Lisle St - and that was rated
at just 8 watts RMS per channel. I drove it into a pair of decent sized
home-built speakers, and the bass could rattle the windows, and it was
deafening to listen to at around half volume.


100W into 78db/watt speaker = 1w into 98db/watt speaker

Which is about the range from the worst to the best sensitiviy speakers
I used to deal with..
