If you play your music between 10 and 12 on your volume dial, does it sound better,same, etc. depending on the wattage of the amp? Say a McIntosh rated at 250 wpc compared to a McIntosh rated at 75 or 100 wpc? Does the quality of sound go up with the wpc when you listen a lower levels? or does it stay the same?

Just the opposite for TVC's, where output impedance rises with less attenuation. S&B TX102 @ 1KHz: .14/-40dB, 14/-20dB, 1.4K/unity. That's why I use high gain (38dB) amps with them. Input impedance is more favourable with attenuation too.

I have CD's that are "loud" at 1:00 and others at 10:00, depending on the recording level.
