[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 5525396, member: 591579"] IT really comes down to if your music is still loud enough for you to appreciate at this level. The difference will actually probably be hard for you to tell except that if you notice a slight loss of volume at medium listening levels you may find yourself playing with the gain or cranking the head unit to compensate and introducing a little distortion into your system when you really turn it up. If it were me I'd find some option other than taking power away from the front stage. Right now your setup gives you ALOT of flexibility. If your front stage sounds good to you right now IMHO itd be dumb to take away from that to power speakers that really aren't that important. I just upgraded from a 60 watt/channel four channel powering 100 watt front comps and 45 watt rear coaxes to bridging it for 140 watts to my 125 watt herz HSKs. It's not a huge difference but some songs that used to not be loud enough until the head unit was at 27 or 28 out of 35 are now fine at 23-25. [/QUOTE]
