Hi,I have been puzzled by the sonic differences between the LOWER power amp vs HIGHER power amp from the same amp manufacturer.Here is my question -- Supposed with the 250Watter,I set the Preamp volume to 8:30 position (this is optimal sound level for me); by using the 160 Watter, I crank the Preamp volume control to 9:30 or even slightly more/ to get the SAME sound level as with the 250 Watter);would I be getting a better Bass reproduction??(perhaps). But then again, the MORE volume would render sonic distorsion ?
I have been suggested by the amp manufacturer that "there is absolutely no sonic differences between the 160 Watter and the 250 Watter Amp ;
Unless you have very inefficient speakers, there is no reason at all to choose the 250 Watter amplifier and pay the higher cost."
I would like very much to know more of your experiences in using the Lower power vs the Higher power amp- whats the sonic differences if any ?
Thanks in advance
Simon
