Re: IS there a sonic benefit to using a High-power amp...?

"Will the sound be fuller/richer or is that more dependent on the sonic nature(quality) of the amp?"

In my experiences, with rare exception, taking two amplifiers from the same line, I've preferred the lower powered amp over the higher powered amp when playing within the lower-powered amp's power range...

(I can think of two exceptions- Jeff Rowland and the '70's Onkyo TX-x500 receiver line. Rowland's Model 7 and 9 monoblocks are the only >200-watt solid-state amps I've really liked.)
