    If that is what you choose to believe Face that is your prerogative. However, just about everyone else in this thread has stated differently. We all can't be wrong.
    Who else stated that watts have a direct correlation with sound quality?

    Did you ever consider that your newer, higher power amp not also has more watts, but could also be a better sounding design? How many amps have you demoed in your system?

    I think your both right, possibly.
    If all else is equal, mote watts will generally have better sound.
    Trouble is, all else is seldom equal. So a well designed amp with 50wpc, may well sound better than a poorly designed 200wpc amp so long as the 50wpc amp is operated within its range.
    Right?
