Default Re: 807 (maybe) amplifier build. Now EL34

Most loudspeakers are extremely inefficient. A few are merely very inefficient, and the rest are amazingly inefficient.

Perhaps the easiest illustration of this is that a single trombone going flat out produces around half a watt of acoustic power.

If all the power of your amplifier got turned into sound, we'd have to arrange helicopter drops of food and tents to the survivors in Lincolnshire.
