I may add a subwoofer in the future, but right now, a new amplifier is probably the first step. I know listening volumes don't tell the whole story, but a lower power amp can be acceptable if you don't crank it up. I currently have a Classe CP 47.5 preamp, and my normal listening level has the vol. usually no higher than 5.0 to 6.0 (I think it goes up to 30 on the scale). Basically, I don't listen very loud at all....that's what I was thinking when I brought up the tube amp question. I just can't help but wonder what I may be missing with tubes since most of my listening people would think is really on the quiet side. The other reason is that since this will be a new, bigger room, I'm wondering if my habits will change?
