Can't really say without knowing how much current the Valhalla can deliver. Just because it can swing 30 volts peak-to-peak doesn't mean it can deliver the appropriate current for a given load.
But assuming that it could (and doubt that it could nor would it need to into low impedance loads), here's what the 30 volts peak-to-peak translates into in RMS watts (W) and milliwatts (mW):
32 ohms: 3.5 W
100 ohms: 1.13 W
200 ohms: 563 mW
300 ohms: 375 mW
600 ohms: 188 mW

Thanks much Steve. I thought there might be some formula, which it appears there is. One other quick one, if you don't mind. I've always been perplexed as to why Little Dot lists it's MKVI power output at 120ohms (5W). Would you mind giving me 70V P-P outputs at 32, 70 (Hifiman HE-6) and 300 ohms? I've owned this amp for nearly 2 years and never really knew the power ratings at the impedances I actually use.
Thanks again,
Chris
