Here's another vote for 4 Pis as ideal apartment-house speakers and I'm mainly feeding them 1.8 Watts. Most of my listening is 40s and 50s Jazz: Count Basie, Clifford Brown, Dizzy Gillespie, etc., and my Parafeed 45 amp delivers distinct, altho' diminished, low E-String tones and kick drum.
The 100 Watt solid state amp I recently added does things in terms of tight-fisted bass control and dynamics the 45 can't, but I can listen at average 85 dB levels with the 45 and not have the Rozzers at the door.
My 2Pis, with the 45, less so with the 8 Watt Pentode-in-Triode single-ended amp, has kinda sloppy bass which is fine for Batman, not so good for Diana Krall Live In Paris. The 100 Watt Adcom tho', really controls the bass and makes them great music speakers, too.
