What’s the relationship between gain (dB) and power (watts)?


Is there one?  My new used 300+ epic Bryston amp has a gain switch on the back toggling between 23 and 29 dB of gain.

I find that speakers that has a low db rating benefits from a higher gain amp.

wattage remains the same.
Also don’t forget your preamp gain.
