I use high power amps, but do not confuse power with quality. Two 300 watt per channel amps, at completely different price points, are not comparable. There are diminishing returns, but do not expect a $3,000 stereo amp to sound like a pair of $15,000 mono blocks.
What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you?
Hi all, I’m coming back to tap the knowledge of the forum again. I have a pair of revel ultima studio 2s that I very much enjoy. I’m currently running them with an Ayre V-5xe. I’ve seen others say that these speakers need to be driven by 400 Watts to get them to sound their best. I sort of understand the relationship between wattage and sound volume, but if I am not looking for “louder” what do I get with a more powerful amp? I don’t hear clipping. More current? But what does that do? Sorry for my ignorance!
