@tube fanatic Decware pieces look very interesting indeed! The Zen Triod Integrated seems to fit the bill.

@tube fanatic thank you. It's actually more like 9 feet. If to believe the app Decibel X, at the higher volumes I listen to, the range is ~70-80 dB.

Hello Redirected here from the "2 Channel..." discussion, I'm told the solution lies with tubes! I know that KG4 are efficient speakers, but how low can one get with the power with them? Do people have experience driving KG4 speakers with very low power amplifiers? I am considering buying a 1 wpc amp, and trying to understand the implications. It's a big(ish) room, I tend to be about 9 feet from the speakers, don't listen at high volumes (low to moderate at best). Jazz, blues, classic, instrumental, some prog rock. I prefer it to be an integrated amp. I have explored the vintage tube option, but it seems that without the knowledge of electronics it's a risky business as most of those pieces need work. I love my music, but know little about the technology of playing it. Budget is <$1.5K. Thank you!

Off I go to the "Talkin' Tubes"! Thank you all! @tube fanatic - I'm in Minneapolis

Thank you so much! I've learned a lot here already. My reason for going this low is really economical. The speakers are relatively sensitive, and I do not listen at high volumes (low to moderate at best), and so I do not need high power. However, I just can't find low power high quality amps in my price range (<$1.5K). The one I found is this, and it's 1W. Are there other low wattage amps anyone can recommend? My intuition is that I can do with as little as 5-10 wpc.
