John, although at normal listening levels you may be right, for those of us who like it LOUD, we do find pleasure and differences with higher powered separates. Nothing makes me grin more than the effortless dynamics of a large power amp that won't fall apart when pushed. At this level, (to me) there are huge differences in sound.
