@douglas_schroeder Your analogy fails because you changed 2 parameters with the assumption the new amp had a different (better?) quality. Reverse the terms such that the older man is heavier and see if it still holds true.
What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you?
Hi all, I’m coming back to tap the knowledge of the forum again. I have a pair of revel ultima studio 2s that I very much enjoy. I’m currently running them with an Ayre V-5xe. I’ve seen others say that these speakers need to be driven by 400 Watts to get them to sound their best. I sort of understand the relationship between wattage and sound volume, but if I am not looking for “louder” what do I get with a more powerful amp? I don’t hear clipping. More current? But what does that do? Sorry for my ignorance!
