Complete tube amp novice got a few questions!!

Wether my speakers are just inefficient but when I measured them with the multimeter I used a signal gen at 100hz and just listened to some music and got about a peak of 12V so thats gonna be about 136W for one speaker. I did use speakers of a theoretical combined power of 140Wrms.

12V peak on a meter is probably 12 x 12 / 8 = 18 Watts RMS, quite a bit of power there!

So you may be better off with a Push-pull design then. The Yaqin MC-10b is about £300 delivered IIRC.

Mate here has a Grant GS60 amp, formally Grant-Lumley, the iron in it are huge!

Maybe a 3U rack case would suit iron as long as they are not huge, along with the valves, given that you make sure it has proper ventilation, if not mod it so it has :)
