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...

Hello,
I thought it was important to use at least 25% of the preamp. I had a marsh Sound Design A400s which is 200 WPC-push pull. I always thought is was a little under detailed unless you really turned it up. I switched to the 100 wpc version and it sings like a canary even at very low volume. My speakers are 89 efficiency. I had three of the A400s amps so I had three to test. I love all car’s so I understand the examples. I really love Ferrari’s and Mustangs. I wish Mustangs could get that horsepower to the wheels. For some reason the 350 was always faster than the 500. Lighter and more control on the throttle I don’t know. I truly love my system now. Sorry, no one was talking about the preamp or maybe using a TT with it as a source which I thought was important.
