I own a KLV-350, and hotrod is right on the mark. No more than 15-18 watts SSB, and 2 watt D/K, swing maybe 10 to 12 max on AM is plenty. It is really a 200 watt amp. Yes you can make it do more, but it will go pop eventually.

If you want to drive more than that into a KLV, you need a 1000p.
 
1/2 watt may be all you need. Thats how much I drive my Jumbo with(same two tubes) and it will key about 25 watts and swing 100-125 on low 150-225 on high.

Thanks Guy's for all your help on this amp.. But Im think IM going to sell it and go with a Solid State amp. I can pick up a like New King Corba 2K solid state amp for $ 500.00. It's a 2 driving 8pill.. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: can you hear me know..
