Hi Fred -- I asked Ken the same question back-channel, because two years 
ago in Dayton Tom Rauch told me that the AL-1200 needs closer to 125 watts' 
drive.  I figured he should know.  That was one of the decisive factors in 
my opting for a Mark 5 -- I still hope to have an AL-1200 one of these days.
