    "And my 40wpc valve amp has much more oomph than my naim nac180 did and they are 90wpc"

    Hamish,
    I think most Naim amps are quoted for driving into 4 Ohms, so the NAP 180 is
    90 watts per channel into 4 ohms ,which would be 45 watts into 8 Ohms.
    Your tube amp and the Naim you had have similar power.
