Bobby, reading this now isn't resulting in "quick input", but if you're going to "pull the trigger" maybe it would be better to do it at the firing range rather than on that amp. Your 3808 may have more maximum power capacity than you think(for example, note
Hometheater Magazine test showing about 200 watt capability], and also keep in mind that 200 watts would only result in a 1.87dB louder split-second peak than would 130 watts. For example, a peak played at 105dB using 130 watts could play it at 106.87dB using 200 watts; very little difference. Unless you're actually playing material with a very wide dynamic range(e.g., some classical recordings)at extremely high sound levels that require more than the 3808 can output(rather doubtful), getting an amplifier that's rated at 200, or 400, or 800 watts isn't going to make any difference. Unused amplifier headroom is simply that: unused. Maybe the guy who suggested that what was needed wasn't more power, but rather, less beer, had it right.
