"... It cracks me up when somebody had 95db sensitive speakers and 'needs' 600 watts. Makes little or no sense, especially from a 'system' viewpoint. ..."
FWIW, when you take 10dB off the top for FIR filters, that 600wpc amp becomes a 60wpc amp or conversely that 95dB efficient speaker becomes 85dB efficient.
Another point to consider is running the amp within its comfort/lowest noise zone. Amps are not linear in their noise/power/frequency profiles.
Not to mention needing to change amps every time you change speakers, so speaking from a system and longevity prospective, it does make sense.
