Don't underestimate the ability of even 30 watts to be prodigious. If the power is cleaned and you can listen to your music at pleasing volumes with enough headroom left over to take care of the transient peaks, you're good to go. I think this is where many folks are misled: thinking that quality is measured in watts. This is a facile thing to say, but it seems that the Watt War overshadows the more important issues of presentation, image, "pacing" (Mr. P's term), clarity, etc. So, even fleas can be pretty formidiable, huh?
