    No, that is not the only factor. There are some low powered amps with high current stages that work equally well. Here's a low powered amp that is well suited to reactive loads: First Watt F5 No, you still do not understand the challenge posed by reactive loads. Do some research on the topic. I've had thirty years. You've spent thirty minutes.
