Why is it that people seem to say a 5 watt tube amp will power a pair of m22ti speakers fine, but I'm currently running a 75 watt Niles solid state amp to mine with the gains near full, and they're not even close to overpowered. I can't imagine that a 5 watt amp would have the power to even make them audible. 1 watt is 1 watt, right? So how can a tube amp do it?
