Michael, "believe" has nothing to do with it. Audio equipment is technology, not theology, and measurements of amplifier power required are a matter of applying well-established principles with a little relatively simple mathematics. This isn't a matter of personal opinions and isn't decided by vote.
Most of time the listening you described in your previous thread would have used only a watt or two and none of the reported observations reflected the reality of the situation. Your sincerity isn't in doubt, but you simply can't apply the simplistic "Just trust your ears" standard in judging amplification. Blind listening tests at carefully matched voltage output levels(which you didn't do)fail to support mythologies surrounding magic amplifiers.
