Hi Patrick,

I think Mike has some hard numbers of the actual watts the amps produce but the XA100's have more than enough power to make me deaf. Even though the amps are scaled up to make more power there are subtle differences in sound quality. The 100's I feel are the most tube-like. The 160's are a little more even handed. I am sure the 100's will be fine.
