5 watt tube amps are useless.Too loud for home,too weak for a gig IMO.
Not to pass judgement on this amp before I've had a chance to try one, but wont this amp only be good for those gigging mofo's and not us home players, its gonna be super loud without an attenuator or a ppimv. Are my thoughts off base? I suspect just to get edge of breakup its gonna have to be ear blistering loud.
5 watts is even loud, I had a 20 watt Origin and in 1 watt mode it was too loud, I need to get at least edge of breakup tone, with a 1 watt or a 5 watt nmv amp its gonna be loud to get there. I would at some point when the Studio Vintage hits the used market get a combo and put a ppimv in it, but to pay new price and spend another few hundred modding it is getting a bit expensive for me. I am interested in these though, I'm looking forward to trying one in the store when they get them, meanwhile I did order a Studio Classic head.Isn’t that what the 5W mode is for? Depends on how loud is unacceptable for your home/apartment/etc. I’m guessing that once the volume is up around 7 this amp will sound really great.

I think that's the reason for 10inch speakers in the combos. Less cone, less air movement, less spl. In 5 watt mode with a single openback 10, it'll be like pushing a fender champ.. loud but not unreasonable in a house ..
5 watt into a 4x12 at the same time, would probably be a bit shy at rehearsal with a loud drummer, but doable in a small room
