Personally I have a great liking for valve power, being realistic though for brute force versus cost, and of course power use/efficiency transistor amps come out tops.
Due to the size of my house a valve amp is at its best, so that is the way it will remain. I don't need 100w+, 2 to 3 quality watts is ample here, good quality efficient speakers also fit the bill.
