This Sims are very high current so I doubt you need more power. The W-7 is more than capable.
How Much Difference Does a More Powerful Amp Make?
When would you notice a real difference in sound quality with a more powerful amplifier?
I have a Simaudio W-7 driving Dynaudio Sapphires, and at some point, I may upgrade to Sonus Faber Amati Futuras.
My W-7 is 150 watts at 8 Ohms, and Simaudio makes the W-8 at 250 W at 8 Ohms. Would I notice any difference if I moved to the more powerful amp in a medium-sized room (14' x 22' x 8')?
The Sapphires are 89 db efficient, the Futuras are around 90 Db, but I've read that with most speakers, the more power the better.
