My old Parabees - the White Knights

I'm beginning to get a clearer picture of this.  In my situation, the transformers would only be seeing 80Hz and up and would be the XL variant which have 33% more core material. The speakers are 95dB efficient and I run them at conservative listening levels. As long as the transformers aren't melting, I should be okay to try this?

Yes, that's the point! But the idea is to try to remain within the mol mist of the time. So only use a 3 watt transformer if you'll be listening below that level even if the amp can deliver more.

That's easy enough.  Currently 0.75 watts via a 71A/TL-404 amp is more than enough for my listening tastes.
