"Still, more power never hurts."
Perhaps. There are examples of higher power amps from the same manufacturer's line that just sound worse with some speakers.
Then I think of the old Crown DC300's we used to sell, compared to the "lesser" DC150's. The 150's sounded better with every speaker we paired to.
As they say, "It depends."
An earlier comment mentioning "trophy systems" was a great phrase. It's often torture when "invited" to hear the latest trophy.
But my pet peeve is phase shift, and many fancy systems just cause too many detrimental phase interactions.
That's less dollar-related.
