It depends on a lot of things but probably no. You don’t state the amps you dealt with so I’m guessing they aren’t from the same manufacturer. Did you go from a class a/b amp to a class a amp? Both SS or both tube? If you have very efficient speakers, then you might have a better shot at having a low power amp be better compared to having a 85db speaker which would be hard to drive with such low power
MC Yep... awful comparison (lol) Nice car though (the Porsche that is). I think the comparison vehicle should be a little better controlled like a later Porsche 911 GT3 RS, or better the 918 Spyder 😁
Roger Modjeski argued that except in the case of very sensitive loudspeakers, all amplifiers are occasionally driven into clipping. He went on to say that how an amp behaves while clipping (stability, generation of distortion) is a result of the quality of it’s design, and that behavior an important contributor to the amp’s sound quality.
