Martin,
Get a smaller listening room! :D
(PS wish mines was bigger!)

I can't downsize any further I'm already at the bottom of the market. As those who have visited me will attest. But the room is big with high ceilings and open plan to upstairs. Speakers are 20' from couch. So the 4w SECA doesn't deliver the clean wallop that does it for me. Although stuff like acoustic Neil Young sounds fantastic through it. But I demand a system that will rock out too.
Anyway, I'm solving all my problems with some Tannoy Ardens :)

What you need is some 10" DC drivered, MLTL beasties like these

I rather like my small listening 'den'. The 12" Tannoys work great in there.
If you want a bit of valve grunt, a Carver Silver 9 set-up may do the trick. 540 wpc ain't bad!
