Yeah I would tend to agree. It's debated but I personally notice a difference when I have more power on hand. It's why I'm sad the rotel crapped out. Power amps like that aren't cheap.
So based off my experience, I think the difference you noticed is real and substantial.
My personality still needs bigger and badder lol
I'm pretty sure I had a discussion with someone at axiom before buying and gave them my room dimensions and layout....and they recommended me the m60. It went in one ear and out the other and I bought the m80's lol
Knowing that I'll need more power for the m100's eventually anyway, perhaps all this convo is pointing out that regardless of my plans, the priority should be more power first and then my inevitable upgrade
I can agree with that I suppose.
I have to do something with my monster rotel before I can focus on an axiom amp. Still debate whether I ship it to Vancouver to be fixed for an undetermined amount...or try and sell it damaged to a gear head.
