However if your audiolab seems to you not to clip or overheat I doubt you
will have a problem with most other = 50Wpc amps in terms of power unless
your speakers drop to low impedance. The 8000 series tends to have pokey
small heatsinks[1], but can IIRC deliver reasonably high peak currents.

Above said, I haven't yet seen you say anything that makes me feel you
would benefit from a new amp. Except perhaps in the way of feeling pleased
to own and use a newer and - allegedly - 'better' one.

Well the phono sockets needed replacing 18 months ago - I'd like an
amp with sockets which don't self destruct.
