[QUOTE="alphakenny1, post: 1898813, member: 561605"] i guess in my order i could swap power and processing. but to me they are both very close. but i still say speaker before power because there are speakers that have different characteristics and you want to choose speakers based on the way you like your music (duh!). let's say you get a nice amp with enough "headroom" as you say, and choose a component set that kinda sorta fits your sonic likings, the headroom will not fully make up flaws, to your ears, that the component set has. but if you get speakers that are to your liking and give them adequate power then to me that is more preferable because the speakers are somewhat sufficiently powered and still carry the sonic characteristics you enjoy. Shoot for me for example i chose the seas lotus reference set and i am in love with them. i am giving them adequate power through my usamps 5600x which does 75 x 4. not a lot of headroom at all and it sounds pretty good. plus there are drivers out there that are pretty efficient. i gave my seas ca18rly about 35 watts and sounded good. or here's a dilemma: POS amp w/ High end speakers or High end amp w/ POS speakers? which do you choose?
