RE: would you prefer 8W in Class A or 80W in Class A/B

I've assembled two Nelson Pass DIY amps. One was the Amp Camp Amp and the other the M2x. I tried them both with my Jean-Marie Reynaud Offrande Supremes v2. Their rated efficiency is 91db into 8ohms. As good as the ACA is, those 8 watts per channel just weren't sufficient for the Offrandes. The M2x was a different story. Rated at 25 watts per side it drives those speakers beautifully. More beautifully, in fact, than another more powerful amp I tried. I'll take Nelson's Class A 8 watts any time but only with properly matched speakers.
