More Power is always good?

I disagree big-time with the Ian Masters article linked above, and not just
because he disses tubes. In some 50 years of serious listening I have come
to find that power output wattage, per se, is almost meaningless. No, you
can't run a Wilson speaker with a 3-watt SET amp. But the quality of the first
and subsequent watts is far more important than their quantity. I was
astonished when a friend who designs and builds SET amps brought over a 6
wpc amp that not only drove my ProAc speakers as well as the 140 wpc amps
I had been using, but sounded a bunch better. I'm now using a pair of 12
wpc SET monoblocks (same designer) to drive Gallo Reference 3 speakers in
an 18 x 40' room, with an "L" off the 40' length, and have never
come close to running out of steam and sound glorious. Yes, I'm powering
the Ref 3s' second voice coils with a powerful SS subwoofer amp, but half the
time I forget to turn it on.

Bottom line: forget the output wattage specs. Listen.

Good luck, Dave

PS- A good friend has your speakers. He drives them VERY successfully, in a
large room, with a 22 wpc tube amp.

More power is NOT always good.

If the first watt doesn't sound fabulous, why would you want more?

Power is power.

Yes nice analogy.....

The thing is you could push the car back on to the road.The power is needed to get past ,or blend back into traffic.It's not need to get the car back on the road per say.

Now if your room is covered with absorption...you need more power...because you have traffic

Your amp is massive ,hard to get you simple SIGNAL through.....because you have traffic.

Your speakers weight tons ,you need power to get the delicate SIGNAL through.....because you have traffic

your wires are 1 inch thick.delicate SIGNAL needs power to get through .....you got traffic.

your stuck in this massive traffic jam ...your delicate signal is.....you need power to push it through....BAD FOR MUSIC IN THE END

Power is not power, any more than a car is a car or a meal is a meal. There are serious differences, and it is on the shoulders of a real music lover to seek out and understand the differences. If power is power, you're in the wrong hobby.
