for those worrying about the clear-as-mud, here's a simple solution:
the Marantz 40N amp is simple, has real knobs, and has 75 wpc rated and is enough for almost any reasonable home
What is your experience with amp power?
So I wanted to know what my fellow audiophiles feel about power.
I realize that some speakers are current hounds and need a prodigious amount of power or watts (lets say Maggies). But my question is for speakers that do not. Speakers that are easy to drive, or maybe just higher in efficiency and can be driven by a modest tube amp or even an adequate receiver.
What is you experience with high power, high current amps ? Do your speakers sound better with more power? At low volumes, in a small or medium sized room? Do you think the quality of the music is dependent on higher powered amps?
@mulveling - yes if you read all of the posts, there are plenty of inaccurate statements regarding power and sound quality. It is not my opinion but there is plenty of designs that prove this. As my partner in my company that manufacturers tube components and he has a masters in electrical engineering, I have learned how things work and what makes them sound the way they do. That being said, I am always open to learn something new but the inaccurate statements are based on how an amplifier can be designed and implemented. Happy Listening. |
