It's not about the power, beyond a certain point. You need enough power to drive your speakers to the level you want without the amp clipping, but beyond that, it's more about the quality of the parts, the amount of current that the amp can deliver, how well it deals with EMI, etc.. If you needed 1,000 watts, then the 200wpc amp would not sound nearly as good. However, you're probably using well below the 200 watts available, so it comes down to the overall quality of the design. Odyssey is known for making very well regarded amplifiers.
Odyssey kismet - emotiva xpa1 1000w ?
Have had 3 weeks with the kismet monos, please help me with how a 200W mono pair can sound better, and not get hot, and seem relaxed and clearer than a 1000W pair of monoblocks??
Driving at about 3.6- 4.9:ohm load.
These 200W odyssey maps, seem to keep up with everything, faster, less fatiguing, and still overpower the 1000W amps,
please, explain, so I understand the theory how 200W can sound better!and drive my speakers better than maps with 5X the power.
thanks
