Michael:
I have the almarro a-318 which is an 18 watt per channel SET and I like it very much. However, at the rave, lone wolf hooked up his baby sofia el84 amp and I enjoyed it more than anything else I heard at that rave. It, I think has 10 watts per channel and it was plenty. I think Louis really believes 5 watts is plenty, but I haven't heard anything that low powered.
P.S. Louis is making or is having made an Omega el84 amp, but hasn't given details yet. I would think this means he thinks they are a good match. I will probably buy it when it comes out - but that is just me.
best of luck
John
