    I've had 8 watts, I currently have 80 watts and I've had up to 3400 watts running my rig. While this is only one measurement, the 80 watts sounds the best to my ears. Taking just that one measurement, the thinking of more watts will sound better goes out the wayside.
    As long as the amp has 80wpc, you're happy?

    If most of the people on this forum lead the way, nothing,
    and those who strive to do so will be poo-pooed and shooed away.

    I think you missed it. Most here trust their ears and realize measurements are fine as crude indicators that meaure bits and pieces of the whole story. It's those who can't figure out the ears part, and hang their hats on measurments alone that need the wake up call.

    Measurements will improve over time and most realize that.
