Thanks, that makes sense as far as the Bryston amp goes. But what about the Theta amps, with 400 watts, 300 watts, and 250 watts, and 100 watts, all with about 26 dB gain. True, they all have differing input sensitivities, but if I'm using a preamp to drive them, what are the advantages of the higher wattage, if they are all putting out the same 25 or 26 dB at full power? I'm sure I'm not understanding something, but what is it?
Thanks again.
