Quality inversely related to power output?


Someone mentioned this to me: "the quality of an amp is inversely proportional to its power output".

Seeking opinions on this statement. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

If the quality of an amp is inversely proportional to its power output, then the corollary would be that two amps of equal power are of the same quality. Obviously not true, because power output depends on the connected speaker impedance and the quality of sound depends mostly on power supply, voltage regulation and output devices and the circuit topology that ties them together.
