In general, if you hold the sound quality the same, then yes, and more so for solid state than tube. But not true at the margins of speaker efficiency: low… more important… for high efficiency speakers it can cause problems). Also, unless you are choosing between the same brand and design of amp, then there become so many more variables that the generalization gets lost in other factors.
Is more amp power always better...?
Hello.
Asking advice on what power Amp/int amp I should buy for my room size...
I have a small listening room. 11' x 10'. I have 89db speaker sensitivity I am going to buy a solid state amp.
For best audio quality (ignoring all other factors), my question is:
Do folks advise "Buy as much watts per channel as you can afford"? -OR- "Buy enough watts for the room" as more watts in reserve do not mean better quality audio?
Put another way: are more watts in reserve better for audio quality, even if amp does not use this power?
Thank you...hope this was clear.
