While your review is mostly about the T+A, have also found that the Ref 9Ks respond well to more power. I tried 20wpc & 35wpc of tube power and the 9Ks were not happy with that. Then tried 90wpc of solid-state and they were merely 'OK'. Finally, with 250wpc they have opened up and strutted their abilities. The 9Ks definitely prefer a strong whip-hand from the amp that's driving them.
