When you say power, there’s two types, current and wattage. You can have 300w in a small package with no current. But to get that 300w with great current as well, things start to grow, so does your electric bill.Why has amplifier power become a big issue

It’s because many hiend speakers themselves have become harder and harder to drive, many of Wilson ect droping down to sometimes 1 or even less ohms, unheard of back in the day. They need both wattage and current.
And it became progressivly worse since those Avent days, not a bad thing as todays harder to drive speakers sound very good compare to the old sludge boxes of yester year.
