I demand that my power amp puts out some serious wattage mojo, so instead of a tiny low powered single ended amp, I insist on on the 10wpc (12 with some tubes, but with KT77s it’s supposedly 10) provided by my Dennis Had SE amp for room shaking dynamic sound through a pair of 99db efficient speakers. I may be power crazy...
Power Uber Alles ?
Hi Gang,
Another thread that is about to go sideways brought up an interesting question: Is power alone an important quality indicator for you?
Of course, they're nice to have, but have you experienced that bigger amps sound better, or is the overall quality of the amp more important.
Assume you have enough power for a modest living room. If a listener was happy with a particular 100 Watt amplifier, would you suggest they find more power?
Please include experience, speakers, and size of listening area while replying!
Also, for a 12' x 18' living room with 86 dB speakers, what range of power do you think you would personally be happy with?
