In Reply to: Power Amplifier: Quality of watts vs. Quantity of watts posted by bssk on June 28, 2012 at 14:41:29:
Your experience is TYPICAL for a person with resolving system and healthy ears.
To be fair, NAD digital amplifier is by no means "cream of the crop" in any imaginable category, so it would be wrong to assume, based on your experience, that tube amp will be inherently better than SS in your system. There is a possibility that you'd like quality solid state amp just as much, or better.
Please - ignore nonsensical "quality of watts doesn't matter" responses below. It surely doesn't to respondents with unresolving systems and bad hearing, but that's clearly not you.
