[QUOTE="vurtrider, post: 408429, member: 553800"] I notice the argument is that a watt is a watt and any amp will only produce the sound that is sent to it so there is no difference between higher end amps that produce the same power. . . (even stated by one of the moderators) this is true in a perfect world but not a true statement. you have all kinds of factors that go into the production of a "clean" watt. and to say that you need twice the power of what you think you need is crazy, all you need for good sound quality at the 90 to 98 db. range is 1 watt!!!! that is right "ONE WATT" so what makes one amp clean and another not? well for one thing it is the amps ability to keep the signal seperated into individual insturments and vocals. to be able to produce energy burst that are fast enough and powerful enough to keep your highs crisp while producing deep rumblling bass at the same time. DON'T BE FOOLED, NOT ALL WATTS ARE THE SAME!!!! you can take a 500w xtant amp and it will not be as "clean" as a 30w Mcintosh or synfoni. if you doubt this come over and I will personaly pull my mcintosh amps out and put in a top of the line Us Amps tu475 and you will hear the difference as soon as it plays. then i will put in a Hifonics followed by a Mtx and each time you will hear a degradation of sound due to that fact that these amps can not produce the fast transiant sounds that the mcintosh can. once i put the mcintosh amps back in you will fall over in your seat and never state "A watt is a watt" again.
