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...

I don’t see explicit current specs for that amp but if it does in fact double into 4 ohm as indicated that is a good alternate related indicator that it is designed to drive difficult loads effectively. .
If you don’t have enough power you clip.  When you clip good watts go bad no matter how awesome they were to start with. 

Clipping is hifi public enemy #1 to avoid at all costs.  Wats in reserve are your insurance policy.  Make your amp work too hard and all else is lost.
