My JOR is,, well the one I sold...is rated 40 watts "conservatively" as they say...does "manage" to drive the 89 db speakers. However since i never biaed the unit, I am not sure there was more highs it could have achieved.
You NEVER biased the tubes in your JOR? Thanks for admitting this. It completely invalidates every post you have ever made about your comparisons of different tubes, including your preference for the KT90.
When you receive your new tube amp, unless it's an autobias model, you MUST bias your tubes for the amplifier to sound as it's supposed to sound.
