How many watts??

Hello,
I usually listen at modest volumes. Probably 60-70db and even a lot lower at sometimes. I was never impressed by playing loud. I am more impressed by how low you can play the volume and still hear the full dynamic range. One way to cheat this is add a subwoofer so you can still hear that deeper bass. I will tell you the preamp or preamp portion of an integrated amp is most important. More important than 80 watts or even 1000 watts. The amplifier is amplifying what the preamp sends it. Garbage in, garbage out. If you hear a his, hum, or distortion why would you want to amplify that. I have seen a 10w per channel integrated tube amp rock out. You should try it. But it’s the preamp, not the amp doing that. Your system is amplifying garbage from the preamp. If you can hook up a good preamp to your system you will understand what I am saying. If you are in the Chicagoland area borrow a Rogue preamp from this store to hear how good your system can sound. https://holmaudio.com
they let you demo in your home before you buy. No more buyers remorse. 

Hello,
I can play my system at a little over 2% of the total volume and hear the dynamic range and stereo imaging on my system. One cheat to this is add a nice subwoofer or two. I like JLAudio or REL. I also have a JLAudio CR1 crossover so I can pick the crossover point of my front speakers to then hand off to the two subs. Some speakers have this crossover technology built in them like the new PSB T600 Synchrony speaker. I believe it has 5 crossover to produce a very good sound. Plus they play from 24 hz to 23khz. Paul Barton hit a home run on this line. The B600 bookshelf speakers are on another level too. At around $3k with stands these set the bar very high. Last but not least. You need to get rid of all that junk in your sound. Do you know there is a little more music in that album you
probably are not hearing. If you would like to hear what you are missing demo a Puritan PSM156 or PSM136 power conditioner that comes with a really nice dissipative power cord unlike some other brands. If you have not heard Puritan has the Ground Master City that lets you take this plug and play system to another level. I am talking pitch black background. Sometimes I get up to flip the record before it’s over because the space between the tracks is so quiet. They are sold across the country. This is the store in the Chicagoland area that lets you demo in your home. https://holmaudio.com/
Basically, No buyers remorse….nice!
