[QUOTE="alanB, post: 49588, member: 431"] Have to second this. One of the few absolutes in hifi IMO is that you can never have a big enough amp! More power = more control, especially in busy passages, less harshness, more "space" between the instruments etc, everything becomes more "natural", even at lower volumes.... Provided its a good amp of course. My biggest step changes in order of occurrence: 1) When I 1st discovered Sonor Audio speakers way back when. They were able to produce subtle harmonics such as the decay of guitar string or the crash of a cymbal etc on my rather modest system at the time that other speakers of equal price (eg. B&W 610's) simply couldnt! They still do - I'm still using a very dated pair that have been slightly modified - they still sound great IMO! 2) Electrocompaniet CD player - detailed music which felt REAL but didn't "over analyse" and dissassemble music the way other expensive CD players seemed to. 3) Madrigal CZ gell interconnects - as much as cables are contentious, these are the ONLY bits of wire I have ever heard that made a startling, clear difference - well worth their rather high price! 4) VA Predator amp.
