Why has amplifier power become a big issue


Back in the day I drove my Advent speakers that were very inefficient with 30 watts per channel. Today I run Vandersteen 2 ce speakers which are more efficient then the old Advents with 50 watts per channel and way more current. By most this is underpowering the Vandersteens, what has changed?

What has changed?
People's perceptions of high end audio. The numbers, including pricing, have spiraled out of control since "back in the day".

If you are happy with your current amp and speakers, just ignore all of the noise.
