[QUOTE="prometheus, post: 1056559, member: 19948"] At the [b]OP?s desired listening levels[/b] it seems that both Rotel amplifiers are operating well within their power rating. Therefore, the additional headroom on the more powerful Rotel is not relevant (even for dynamic material). Dave Nauber, Brand Director for Classe, mentions that just 3 watts of power is quite loud and that most, if not all listening is done with less than 35watts. https://youtu.be/TEoMKpzgby8 He also mentions why they build amplifiers with hundreds of watts output. As audiophiles (myself included), excess/overkill is order of the day. [/QUOTE]
