benefit of Higher power over Lower power Amp ?


Hi, I would like to know if there would be any additional sonic benefit besides having more head-room for a Higher power amp over the Lower power amp (they both from a same manufacturer,with same circuitry design ; 160W and 250 W respectively). Your opinion ,explaination and suggestions is highly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Generally speaking as long as the amp has suffient power to drive the speakers, lower powered amps will sound better beause there is less in the circuit. Less output transistors etc...

However THIS IS VERY GENERALIZED!!! and not true of all brands. In the end let your ears make the decision (if the wallet can afford it that is :) )

Cheers,

P.S. I also had a speaker thread disapear last week. It was friendly thread and there was no arguing going on. Not sure why it would of been deleted? Maybe just a sytem glich?? Possible the database had a glich and they lost some posts.
