RE: First Watts and high output amps

I've been using a 120 watts amp with my modded LaScalas for years, with great success.
Now using a lower power 18watts class A amplifier but I have to say the only thing that is better with the lower power amp is the bass: lower damping factor allows the overly dry souding hornloaded woofer to seemingly reach deeper and sound more "round".
For everything else the 120watt Technics sE-A5 was an amazing amp even at very low power (at comfortable volume levels the needle of the vu-meters barely reached 0,1watts).
Now I'm not quite sure all very powerful amp sound that good at very low output; you have to try...
