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...

@millercarbon Hey I own a 78 911 SC ! Not the fastest car out there, but like you said well designed to use the power that it has all day long! To the extreme I just sold my 96 911 993 Turbo that was modified 600,hp/595 lb of torque 
That car was amazing! Did I do the stop speed of 200mph......never! Did I race every boy racer out there.......never. But there is nothing like a owning a piece of well engineer equipment that will do everything that you want, and then some at anytime!
I own a Tube amp in triode 35 watts and sounds magical and also own a D class amp that has 550 watts@8ohm 650@4ohms&1,200@2ohms 
When I use the D class to drive my Maggies, they really come alive with soundstage,  inner detail and micro dynamics, even at the lower volume levels. I think I'm a power junkie!!

993 GT 2 ??? I can get one for $1.6 million
I don't want my amp to clip, but do want my Porsche to clip.....the apex that is!
My amp has more that enough power, but it is also capable of 65 amps for 500 miliseconds
