What is your experience with amp power?

So I wanted to know what my fellow audiophiles feel about power.

I realize that some speakers are current hounds and need a prodigious amount of power or watts (lets say Maggies). But my question is for speakers that do not. Speakers that are easy to drive, or maybe just higher in efficiency and can be driven by a modest tube amp or even an adequate receiver. 

What is you experience with high power, high current amps ? Do your speakers sound better with more power? At low volumes, in a small or medium sized room? Do you think the quality of the music is dependent on higher powered amps?

Great comment. Clear as mud to me as well. God Bless us poor guys!  But I think many people here have great contributions to a somewhat complicated issue. and i appreciate everyone's input. I have a low power tube amp that I really luv.... it's sounds so good.

And I always say... the most important person who listens and enjoys your system... is you!
