Ineed some help with a simple math equation


I have an amp with 29 dB gain with power output at 400, will this be bettered by an amp with 26 dB gain and 500 output? I'd like to have the extra 100 for my Thiel 3.6, which eat power like they are eating peanuts.
Thanks
Bill

Dave,
I agree. I play vinyl using a Clearaudio Stradivari II cartridge on a their Performance SE via an ARC PH8. I want music from my main system is a physical in-your-chest experience.

I find this very interesting; although I have custom speakers, me and the crossover engineer used the sound of top of the line Thiel speakers mated with an ARC amp as a model for the sound.

I have no idea what went wrong twice .  That's supposed to read,   "we used the sound of top of the line Thiel speakers mated with ARC amp as a model for the sound.
