[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8605872, member: 673752"] I’ve notice greater dynamic range when switching from 50 wpc to 75 wpc rms. You will definitely notice greater dynamic range especially in the bass and songs will seem to be more lively throughout the frequency range even at low volume levels. It’s best to get an amplifier that is at the top or slightly more powerful than what the manufacturer recommends. If your top rms range is 60 watts per channel (wpc) than get an amplifier that puts out 75 wpc RMS and forget about peak power ratings as they mean nothing. RMS power ratings are what matters. BTW dynamic range is the difference between the softest sounds and the loudest sounds in your music. [/QUOTE]
