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...

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!



The most important thing to know when it comes to power is the great Robert Harley quote, "If the first watt isn't any good, why would you want 200 more of them?" 


Ya, there's a reason Nelson calls his stuff "First Watt".


It applies to both tubes and transistors.
