Re: Do you prefer SS or tube? Why?
90dB average is indeed very loud, this means you could have 110dB peaks.
If the amps were really outputing over 1000W (don't know how accurate their meter is) it means they were also clipping a... -

Re: Do you prefer SS or tube? Why?
Sure it can.
If it's a DAC direct setup in which you know the output level at 0dBFS you attenuate the signal in dBs until it won't go over the input sensitivity of the amplifier. Or if the DAC... -

Aaand... you're an idiot.
Amplifier has a gain of 24dB and the max output voltage from the source is 0.87V. Enlighten me on how I clip the amplifier (that is if you can). :) -

Oh, yes, because the max SPL at which he listens is irellevant to the required Watts, right?

Re: New Speaker Setup Small Room 10K Euros
Letting their size aside, the Sopras 2 are a difficult load and will sound bright due to their impedance curve with your amplifier.
You should look for speakers that have a linearized impedance....
