Hi,
you wrote: I suspect I will loose some maximum wattage, but will the amp still be able to produce that wonderful sound I like so much?
That's exactly what I think and experienced in my
McIntosh MC 2000. I have my bias set at the lower end of the bias scale with the result that the tubes are running much cooler. I might lose a bit of high power but other than that it's ok.
Good luck!
