Actually, they do okay with around 30wpc. I've heard them with an Audiomat
Arpege Reference, and there were no real limitations.  Remember when we heard
them sound so spectacular at Jeff's Sound Values?  Those were tube amps rated
at only about 60wpc.  Quads won't necessarily work well with a 300B SET amp,
but they sound excellent with most 845-driven amps.  The Devil, who owns a
shitload of Quads, recommends OTL amps.

BTW, Arny said something stupid about the Quads being designed to work well
with SS amps.  That must be why Quad designed a modestly-powered tube amp to go
with them.
