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...

It depends on a lot of things but probably no.
You don’t state the amps you dealt with so I’m guessing they aren’t from the same manufacturer. Did you go from a class a/b amp to a class a amp? Both SS or both tube?  If you have very efficient speakers, then you might have a better shot at having a low power amp be better compared to having a 85db speaker which would be hard to drive with such low power
