I think we rely too much on power ratings.
It takes 10x the power to double the volume, so do I care a lot between 120W and 100? No, really I don’t. In most homes, with a sub, and speakers run as satellites (not full range) 100W per channel is way more than enough.
Honestly, if you are running satellites, with subs, 75W amps per channel x 5 is more than enough unless you are running a mini theater in your home.
How the amps work with your speakers and how they sound is a much bigger deal. I like NAD for the use of nCore, and Parasound a lot.
