Power and Sound Quality, Other Things Being Equal


Suppose that a manufacturer has several amps with the same basic construction but with different amounts of power (e.g. NAD C320BEE, C352, C372). Will the highest power amp sound better than the others at moderate volumes or only when you crank up the volume?

That said, you often get the same technology in the lowest- powered offering of the maker. The Krell 50s were thought by many to be the best of the breed despite the low wattage.

In reference to your specific question, I don't think the higher-powered amp is going sound much different than a lower powered amp when each is playing an identical signal. The high power amp will have greater reserves but the differences end there, imo.
