The theories outlined in the following link seem sound but as I've often found in the world of audio, there are many contradictions in opinion...

I suppose I should've mentioned that this thread's directed towards "valve-heads" :lol:

You can probably ignore the parts where they recommend their own valves as well :lol:

From what I've heard, their valves are very good indeed.

Pity I can't use any of them in my copper amp, though! ;)

I agree that the article linked to makes a lot of sense.

Whilst I am not really into rules; looking at the suggestions seem to apply pretty much to how my system is set up

They seem really hung up on efficiency ratings, which in my experience is definitely a factor in amp matching, but not the only one. Impedance curves, desired playback levels, room size, music preference, etc. also dictate power requirements. I'm running a 2.5 WPC amp into an 89db/w/m pair of three ways with great results.

They did offer a great tip about listening for lift and shout. I've heard more than one demonstration that involved soothing vocals, easy-sounding string music, and not much else. I speculate I know why.
