and Valencia is such a miserable speaker I don't know it deserves to be counted as one. 30W min with tone control or you just want to believe that it works and there is no one in your audio circle to tell you it'a a BS. Volume control position has no meaning. Diana Krall and other girls work fine with 0.1W in my experience so there is no need for more wattage if you're in that camp. If you don't bi-amp and your room is bigger than typical Euro concrete bunker 30W SET is a minimum to feel at ease. This is my latest experience-
40W SET on 100dB from 100Hz and up in lossy medium US 450 sq ft room. 45 Set is mostly a guilty pleasure if you can afford it. You need a preamp to control your 20 sources and add color to your sound. It is an essential element of an audio chain. Too bad they mostly make ones without tone controls these days.
