Is there such a thing as too much power?


   I downgraded power from 300 watts per ch to 70 and I like the sound better! I always thought more power is a good thing, but could that be wrong?

Please enlighten me...

Simple fact is that if you can get a more powerful amp to sound as good as a lower powered amp through the entire spectrum more power is better. Problem is that many higher powered amps dont sound as good as their lowered powered alternatives. This seems especially true of S.S. amplifiers. Part of this must be an issue of circuit complexity.

What irritates me more than speaker efficiency is the issue of low impedance speakers. To me there is no reason for the existence of low impedance speakers!
