[QUOTE="FoxPro5, post: 1399827, member: 562649"] The more power you have the more dynamic headroom you will have....which is a very nice thing. With less power available to drive the speakers, most have the tendency to crank the gains on the amp to increase the output, which if done unintellegently, can clip the signal and then you will get "harsh" sounds. With the additional power, you can keep the gains all the way down and essentially utilize the dynamics of the system without stressing it. Having said that, too much power really is not possible....sending 250w to your tweets won't blow them up unless you exceed the thermal capabilitites of them!! You can run as much clean power you want to them, but then why pay for more power than you really need to make it sound the way you want it. I have 75 watts on my fronts and they sound better then when I had 250 watts on them before. This can be attributed to running a balanced signal to the amp, eliminating a lot of noise, and raising the sound floor....Zapco amps are a wonderful investment;) [/QUOTE]
