One only needs to look at the impedance curve of a given speaker. If this drops anything below 8ohms; 8 wts. will clip like hell. Amps need to be matched to the speaker. This is 'triple-true' if the amp puts out 8 watts.Impedance is more important than sensitivity.

using such low power amps could cause a problem for home theater use....
many movie soundtracks have sudden and high transients and an 8 watt amp would clip and distort very easily.....
if you want to use tubes in your home theater, this might be an option....

5 channels of tube power in one chassis...... only $3295 direct from the factory.... they show up on audiogon once in a while for about $2500 or less...
cheers!
