In Reply to: IS there a sonic benefit to using a High-power amp...? posted by draggcj on January 7, 2004 at 07:22:24:
Before buying a Bryston 3BSST (150W/Channel) to drive my Vandersteen 3A Sigs, I listened extensively to the 4BSST (250W/Channel). With respect to specifications, the 3BSST better matches the recommendations of Vandersteen. ..However, as encouraged by the "more is always better" proponents you encounter here, I wanted to see if there was an audible advantage to the 4BSST. I can say that I could not discern one ioda of difference b/w the two.One sensible inmate pointed out (I forget the math of his arguement, but it made sense) that the difference in audible volume b/w a 150w/channel amp and a 250w/channel is barely audible. ..This of course assumes that you actually drive both amps to their maximum output, which I'd never do.
I ended up chosing the 3BSST and figured the $1000 I saved would buy quite a bit of music to enjoy!
