John, a scant 3 months ago I paid no attention to high power. Then I got the v4 and started experimenting. Even with the hobbled external amp connected up to my Pioneer, I am now a convert. Power, power and more power is where it's at. My only concern now is how all this power is going to impact my hearing.
