Is there such a thing as too much power?


   I downgraded power from 300 watts per ch to 70 and I like the sound better! I always thought more power is a good thing, but could that be wrong?

Please enlighten me...

yes, spending money that could be spent on content, other equipment, better speakers ...

a ton of SS power or some tube power, I say, get efficient speakers, get tube amp.

and, avoiding size, weight, heat, electrical use is good! optional locations if smaller/lighter/less heat!


depending on how loud one listens to music, the efficiency of the speakers, and the acoustical environment, having a big reserve of power may not increase sound quality.

You don't need 20 tons air-conditioner to cool down 2000sq-ft house.
I can think of plenty of reasons why a 70 watt amp can sound better than a 300 watt amp. This should come as no surprise whatsoever!
