low vs high gain


Hi folks, can anyone explain to me which power amp gain is to be preferred: 26dB or 32dB? Mine has a 32dB factory default setting. What are the benefits/disadvantages of high gain? Thank you in advance.

I've red once that the higher gain setting of the power amp gives the better dynamics. Is this true? In my experience setting the gain too low (< 26dB) will result in loss of dynamics.

Thank you all for your responses. I'll ask the manufacturer to reset the gain to 26dB (if that is possible).
