    I just wanted to point out one of the best features about the M125 amps.

    I currently have 97dB efficient speakers. I also have my main rig in a small bedroom. I've been using lower powered amps for obvious reasons while my M125s were collecting dust.

    Then I remembered that not only can I cut the power in half by using 2 less power tubes per channel but then flip into triode mode which cuts that power in half again.

    So I broke out my M125s and did just that and BOOM! Great sound at a more reasonable power level! Not sure how to calculate power but a pair of KT120s in triode seem to sound bigger than my solid state 60 watt amp.

    So I won't be selling them after all.

    corndog71.... That is the same reason I'm going with the 120. I will never use all that power of the 125s.

    I live way out in the country in a small town that has only 500 or less people. I don't think my neighbors would appreciate me blasting their doors off lol
    And believe me... it would be tempting to do so lol  M125 and high efficiency speakers 1f605  M125 and high efficiency speakers 1f605  M125 and high efficiency speakers 1f605  M125 and high efficiency speakers 1f605
