If you want to play (loud), you have to pay. Big powerful expensive amps exist for a reason. They work in most applications and let you not worry about coming up short on power. And for some reason, unknown to me, big amps add power and weight even at low volumes, although I have no idea how that works. Better to have too much than too little. On the other hand my 25 watt Quicksilver Mini-Monos are my favorite amps?
What is your experience with amp power?
So I wanted to know what my fellow audiophiles feel about power.
I realize that some speakers are current hounds and need a prodigious amount of power or watts (lets say Maggies). But my question is for speakers that do not. Speakers that are easy to drive, or maybe just higher in efficiency and can be driven by a modest tube amp or even an adequate receiver.
What is you experience with high power, high current amps ? Do your speakers sound better with more power? At low volumes, in a small or medium sized room? Do you think the quality of the music is dependent on higher powered amps?
