Odd question... power compared to?


I am saving monies for a high power 2 channel amp and am close to a Parasound A21... I have a Mac pre but can't afford a big boy Mac amp. A21 400ish per... would a lower power Mac do the same job as the big boy A21? I understand current ect. but I am hoping a more reasonable Mac would be in the same park... I had a 7100 Mac and my speakers ate it for lunch . What say ye?

What speakers are you driving? How loudly do you play them? 
If money is an issue also try the Parasound A23. It's a very solid 120 Watt amp.

The few Macs I've listened to seemed bright and a little lean. Parasound tends to be warmer, and more full IMHO. Listening with your speakers is a great idea.
