The Luxman is 12 watts but with good reserves. No, I can't drive loud rock to fill the room with the Minis, but even though they're not terribly efficient, they're not very big either. This is a second system and I can certainly play at reasonable volume levels, especially classical chamber and jazz, which is what I mostly listen to on this little system. I save the big works and big volume for my main system. I suspect Glenn will have no trouble at all with his Focals.
