He's a guy making a really powerful amp, what do you think he will say?
If you ask him what speakers are the best, what do you think he'll say, horns? He makes stats, he says stats are best. Duh.
As for how much power, I have really liked 20 watts into my 100db/watt speaker. I've liked 170 watts better. So, what do I NEED? Well, I have the money to easily pay for the big one, so I own it.
If I could not afford the big one, I could happily live with the 20 watter.
So, it's not about need, necessarily, it's about desire and what you are willing to pay to satisfy your desire.
One thing to remember, it's a LOT more expensive to find a great high powered amp. There are few great amps, so even fewer high powered great amps.
