Wow, what a rabbit hole you guys took this poor guy. His question was a simple one, one I try to answer from time to time, but within a couple of responses you guys were into slew rate, and it went down from there, with different people flexing their knowledge muscles. And I know you were trying but like a lot of forum questions it takes very little to take your eye off the ball. I thank you, for you enhanced my general knowledge but I'm not sure anyone answered his question.
Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important?
Lately when talking to knowledgeable people in the audio industry I’ve been hearing how current delivery is more important than watts in determining weather an amplifier will drive a speaker.
So what exactly is current and how does it effect speaker performance? How can a amplifier rated at 150 watts into 8 ohms vs one rated at 400 watts into 8 ohms be a better match for a hard to drive speaker?
