Gotta agree with Gs5556! I can only tell you what MY experiences are and based on my tastes and system -- BUT --- in my second system (where I listen to mostly jazz, acoustic, vocals and light rock - leaving the big scale stuff at loud volumes for my main system), I went from a pair of 11-12 watt Cary 300SE Signatures [with WE 300Bs] (driving a pair of Silverline SR-15s and an ACI Titan II LE sub) to the 3.5 watt Wright 2A3 monos and could NOT be happier. The Wrights, to my ears and tastes, have better midrange, better bass and do not poop out or congest as I thought they would on the 89-90db, 8 ohm Silverlines except at outrageously loud volumes.
Not to trash Cary at all, but going from a $5000 pair of amps to a $1500 pair and getting beter sound in my system was a no-brainer.
Good luck and have fun!
