What does more amplifier power mean?
I've always been under the impression that more power actually improves sound quality/ sonic accuracy. When you compare similar styles of amps it just seems that drastic increases in power like the differences between average receiver amps that output about 100 watts per channel and a pro amp like the Behringer EP2500 that outputs 450 watts per channel results in huge differences not only in volume but the realisticness/depth of the sound you hear while only changing the amplifier and keeping everything else constant. What exactly happens when a speaker is fed more power? Is it my imagination or am I hearing something tangible that can be explained? It just seems that a piano sounds more like a piano. What does more amplifier power mean? Is it merely volume or is there something more?
