"All 100 watt amps are not equal."
You can say that again, and in many different ways.
A lot of SS amplifiers have lower distortion at 2 watts vs. .2 watts. The problem with that is, with most speakers, we listen to .2 watts a lot more of the time vs. 2 watts.
To your point, an amplifier that can not double it's output watts each time the load impedance is halved is showing a lack of current delivery ability.
I would have said it like this, 'It's not the rated watts into 8 ohms that matters so much when we are talking about driving speakers that have an impedance curve that dips well below 8 ohms, it's the wattage rating of the amplifier when driving those lower impedances vs. the wattage rating into 8 ohms'
That says what you were trying to say without making it sound like 'watts and current' can be separated.
