Amplifier's Amps?

Hello All!

I wanted to check in with some of you as I've come across different pieces of hardware in my lineup. Can anyone explain to me how amps or amperes increase or affect a speaker's performance? I have both an HK Signature 2.1 amp and a Parasound A52. The Signature is priced lower than the Parasound in the used market and has lower watts per channel but has over three times the amps (100 vs 30).

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Those ratings refer to short term peak amps. Not continuous amps. It could mean the 100 amp has a bigger power supply and will have a little more head room.. I do not feel that these peak current ratings really means to much. Depends how they are measured.
