a Power vs Volume Question


Hell,

I just replaced my old 200w power amplifier with a new 300w amp. by my surprise, with all things left the same, including the volume setting, the output read by my spl meter was the same between the two amps. isn't the 300w amp supposed to be louder at the same volume setting?

please post your thoughts.
thank you

I also read somewhere that you lose 3 dbs output going from a 8 ohm load to a 4 ohm load with the same wattage.
