Subject: RE: Had to buy new tubes for desk amp...

A 100 watt amp will blow 20watt speakers if you turn it up. Of course, all that matter is RMS watts. It doesn't look like Fosi even lists RMS watts so who knows what its really outputting. I would stay away from anything that doesn't list RMS and only RMS.
You don't even really need more than say 20 RMS watts unless you're powering larger speakers or want to blow out your eardrums.
Shitty speakers like those Daytons will sound ok at first, then gradually or instantly wear out to sound like a string in a paper cup. Good speakers will sound great out of the box then get even better after they are broken-in.
