Amplifier's Amps?


Hello All!

I wanted to check in with some of you as I've come across different pieces of hardware in my lineup. Can anyone explain to me how amps or amperes increase or affect a speaker's performance? I have both an HK Signature 2.1 amp and a Parasound A52. The Signature is priced lower than the Parasound in the used market and has lower watts per channel but has over three times the amps (100 vs 30).

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Rlwainright - It is an awesome amp, very impressed for its perfomance in my system. I had an opportunity to pick up the Parasound at a favorable amount and couldn't pass it up. I'm wondering if I should hold onto the Sig as a backup amp or sell it
Mechans - I see, so what you're saying is that more amps would benefit power hungry speakers like a pair of Maggies but other more efficient speakers wouldn't benefit because they're easier to "drive"?
