It does matter but as long as your amp can drive your speakers with ease your pre-amp is more important as it has the larger effect on the over-all sound...one of the reasons why passive pre-amps are so in-favor with audiophiles.

Does it matter what power amp i get?
Hi I am new to home recording. I have a pair of Alesis M1 Passive speakers and need to get an amplifier for them. I am wondering if (aside from the wattage) the type of the amplifier matters at all? I was looking at an alesis ra 150, its 200 dollars, but a friend told me any old amplifier will work, even a 100Watt one from radioshack (which I couldn't find anyway). But are there any recommendations?
