Re: 1W amp for 97db speakers ?

Paul Joppa's 102 dB. rule tells the tale. In an "average" room, an amp/speaker combo should be capable of 102 dB. SPL peaks at a 1 M. distance. A 2A3 based amp is the min. for use with 97 dB. efficient speakers.

If you're not fanatic about DHT, triode wired EL34s would be "perfect". The sound of the amp can be tweaked by switching g3 between cathode and plate.
