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...

300W RMS per channel minimum!

 Or go home!
  O substitute for power and headroom
Used amps w 100W 150 W!, 200W, 300W, AMD my current amp are 650W RMS.  


the 650 W and 200W are the best amps. I’ve used!

1 watt, 80 watts. Waste!

 Buy power for crescendos,, and headroom!

dont look back
@millercarbon Hey I own a 78 911 SC ! Not the fastest car out there, but like you said well designed to use the power that it has all day long! To the extreme I just sold my 96 911 993 Turbo that was modified 600,hp/595 lb of torque
That car was amazing! 

Careful readers will notice I said you can have too much power in an amp, and you can have too much power in a Corvette. But I never said you can have too much power in a Porsche. Porsche actually even has a name for it: GT2.
993 GT 2 ??? I can get one for $1.6 million
I don't want my amp to clip, but do want my Porsche to clip.....the apex that is!
My amp has more that enough power, but it is also capable of 65 amps for 500 miliseconds 

All this super power amplification is worthless. It overheat driver voice coil caused to increasing drivers impedance and huge dynamic compression. 
It is even worse -  this dynamic compression has memory, because driver voice coil can't be cooled quick enough. It also cause bad frequency response around crossover points, as result of increased drivers impedance. 
It was the biggest mistake in history of audio industry to go to low sensitive speakers with high power amplifiers.
