I sometimes wonder if the reason that some music may sound "better" with a more powerful amp may have something to do with the peak power requirements?

Most of the posts that I have read don't really distinguish between peak power and average power. I suppose that may be because most posters are not engineers and don't really understand the difference, anyway.

Bottom Line: you could have extremely high peak power requirements to properly reproduce a sound track, yet the average power could be quite nominal.

Just something to think about.
