David,
The 88s have a nominal gain of 18 dB with AT-7 input tubes. This is about 8 dB lower than most amps, although some have gain as high as 31 dB.
The power is 30watts/channel.
AU-7s drop the gain another 6 dB, but good sounding AU-7s may be much harder to find.
IIRC, with AT-7 inputs and 104 dB efficient speakers, a Hovland pre with 14 dB gain was fine.
Also, don't forget that the Model 88 inverts absolute polarity.
I can send you an English owner's manual, if you do not have one.
Best regards,
Jim Smith
