No, summat's not right here - this amp'll trounce my KiT88 which

It's running into a pair of Fluffy Bunny DM2As (84dB according to
that nice Mr P) and it stoke's 'em like a wild thing! (Runs out of
puff at about the 2 o' clock mark, tho'....???)

That sounds like a sensitive input, as if it's maxing out at a relatively
low volume setting due to the size of the signal it's being fed. After that,
it would just get progressively dirtier. (On mine, o/p from the DAC straight
into the power amp reaches max volume at about 1/3rd of the way up.)

My amp's anode current is about 60mA, and the HT is, I think, 450V (hence
the spec 27W absolute max: 0.06 * 450 = 27). Yours has about half the
current for a similar HT, so Andy's 13W sounds about right.

Does it go audibly louder than the KiT88 (both amps at max, use a preamp to
control volume)? What's the rated output of the KiT88? Could one amp find
the speakers easier to drive than the other?
