So I haven’t listened to my EL84 amp in quite a while. I put it in last weekend and it sounded so good I left it in for a while. For a minute there I questioned the money spent on the more expensive 300B amp. So last night I put it back in. It didn’t take long to hear the results of the extra money spent. The less powerful amp actually has better bass control and a bigger, bolder sound. The 300B amp is 5x the cost of the EL84 amp. It doesn’t sound five times better, we know that’s not how this game works. Even though I could live with either of them, the improvement justifies the cost for the better (and much less powerful) amp. -

It’s ok, some people want quantity over quality, and that’s certainly the theme for you. I could never live with a crown amp. Call me an audio snob if you will, but I have to draw the line somewhere. -

I used Bar Keepers Friend to remove water stains. I treated the whole surface, not just the stained areas. Have you sanded any of it? -
Correct; those extra watts beyond 8W only contribute to the sound volume. You could say those 92 remaining watts are wasted, or your amp has capacity that will never be used. Now, if you had inefficient speakers such as electrostatics, you might need all those watts. And since a hardly audible 3dB increase in volume requires a doubling of power, to get any meaningful increase in volume requires tremendous increases in output wattage, at tremendous expense. -
