huh... thanks Frihed but, with all due respect, it IS a matter of gain. High sensitivity speakers make the "problem" more obvious, but i've been using a 120 watts/channel amp for the last 5 years with the same speakers and never experienced any problem until i moved to a preamp that has huge amount of gain. If you use 0.5watt average to drive ur speakers, it doesn't matter if you have 1.5watt behind or 119.5watts behind... useless headroom maybe, but it won't necesseraly SHOUT unless the preamps sends signals with too much amplitude...
