Thanks for answers. Yeah, 16watts rms is what I am claiming too. My motivation for pressing more out of the tubes is that the low current drive gives a rather abrupt clipping behaviour, kinda more SS like than the typical soft clipping of most high impedance tube transformer coupled amps. I want better compression on the onset of clip. I think if the grids get a little juice, the tubes will clip more due to saturation than the grid flat lining. Any ideas?
