Nice post Salectric,What NO one has brought up here, yet it is cogent, is that it is easier to build a great sounding low power amplifier, than a great sounding high power amplifier.
The more devices you parallel, to get high power, the less transparent and more mismatched the performance.
So, when you use a low sensitivity speaker with a high powered amplifier, it becomes a compromise, (assuming one knows how to make, or acquire, a great-sounding low powered amp.)
Don't get me wrong, there are a few positively great sounding high powered solid state amps, but how many of us a) know which ones they are and b) can afford to buy them??
