Electronics is a tough science for sure !
Very little power for my kind of speakers.
Now I understand why I got so many negative opinions on this project.
Never mind,
one day, when I won't have any passion for my system, I will buy the Tannoy Canterburys and a full Shindo set-up !
See you then !

I know this is a pretty old thread, but since this thread comes up when I did a google search on the CCQ, I wanted to let you know that I discussed this very issue with Jonathan, and he informed me that the 17.4 W per channel into 4 ohms is the spec for the CC80, not the CCQ. This makes sense of course, since the CC80 is 70 watts into 16 ohms and 35W into 8 ohms, so 17.4 would represent your typical halving of power into half the impedance on a tube amp.
He didn't specify exactly the output of the CCQ into 4 ohms, but said it would "do much better with the 4 ohm dip" that most speakers that would need 70 watts tend to have, as compared with the CC80's performance into those dips.
Just wanted to clear this up, so that the next guy who researches this will get the right info.
