They are listed at 90 db @... but that will fool you. They are driven very well with tube amps. Their listing of 20W min to drive them is based on ss amps. I have been pushing my pair with 6f6g @ 4W/ch and am very happy. Albeit not to concert levels but much louder than my wife will accept.

Nice ... What is the nominal impedance of the DT8's? Do you know if a lower nominal impedance (i.e., 4 Ohms) is better for tube amps than higher values? Thanks for your informed reply.
Edit: Checked the specs. Me thinks the cabinet's dimensions are too narrow for acoustic power and expansion, but I'm probably wrong. The price is about double the avg offerings (UK's labor cost). 90 dB's not that high, but 4 Ohms may help. I still need an answer about the 4 Ohms vs 8 Ohms impedance factor with tube amps.
