More Power Part II

All are different, owned multiple receivers, onkyo, Yamaha, pioneer, technics, Sansui, and several others since 1984.
plus amplifiers, - Onkyo, carver, proton, carvin, crown, crest,
Most were 45x45, 85x85, 100, 125, etc etc.
the amps with over 200@8 Ohm, were always better. Sounded better, effortless, and reproduced the power chords, drums solos, guitar solos, and everything else much better.
The notion of why do you need 248 more of the same watts when it’s the quality of the 2 watts. This is a selling point, advertisement of a companies product. This is my opinion, and thoughts after 35+ years owning a pick-up truck full of electronics. There is no substitute for having the headroom to power through every part of your music.
I rarely do any low level listening from my stereo system.
Many, many get rapture from a small flea watt amp into a nice pair of speakers. Personally, I’ve not had less than 250-300+ W amps since the very late 90’s til present.
  Hav clipped %90 of every receiver & amp I’ve bought until I hit the 300+ wpc mark

My opinion and experience.

Wish I were young. Thank you for the kind words.
I like my music with a little OOOMMPPHHH in it when playing.
Not all music is played loud all the time. Do like some volume for Motörhead, venom, kreator, Iron Maiden, cryptic slaughter, etc etc.

my hearing is............wait,.......what?




 Not me, nothing less than 250-300wpc @ 8 ohm. Everything else I’ve owned less than 150wpc  has clipped, muddied, stressed, strained the sound which I can hear.  Low background stuff is ok, but when I need to push some volume, there is absolutely no substitute for having the reserve headroom to make everything flow and give me that effortless wow factor I have only had from having the proper watts to make that possible.
