i read many years ago to hear a 3 decibal increase in loudness you have to triple your wattage, not double.
I believe the difference is not just watts... But I believe the 601 is quad balanced while the 1201 is not.
i've read many years ago that to get a 3db increase in volume you would need to triple your current power. i remember reading this in the old "stereo review" magazine
