benefit of Higher power over Lower power Amp ?


Hi, I would like to know if there would be any additional sonic benefit besides having more head-room for a Higher power amp over the Lower power amp (they both from a same manufacturer,with same circuitry design ; 160W and 250 W respectively). Your opinion ,explaination and suggestions is highly appreciated and thanks in advance.

I was wondering the samething. It was not mean spirited at all. Just a lot of different viewpoints. Towards the end, it was mostly about the sonic merits of the Parasound JC1's. Different points of views and thoughts but nothing mean spirited. All of a sudden, boom, it's gone! I've seen a heck of a lot more contraversial stuff stay on.
Anyway, to answer the question, it is a BIG depends. It seems it is easier for manufacturers to get smaller amps right more than it is the big ones. However, there are some good big ones out there.
To me, smaller amps have a sweeter more delicate sound. But it does depend on the overall system the amp is be utilized in.
