IMO, Amp / speaker pairing is a tough nut to crack. So much comes into play. Listening preferences I think is a major factor that gets overlooked. I’ve had a 200wpc beast that didn’t sound good unless it was pushed to volume levels I don’t find enjoyable. Whereas on the other hand I’ve had 75wpc do the job rather well. Definitely do as much listening as possible before pulling the trigger. Good luck!
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.
