Of _course_ it'd make a difference in some situations. However, I was replying to the fact that people claim that they make a difference at low volumes also,

In reply to:

There is a better over all sound at all volumes




which simply isn't true IMO, in the case of comparing two well designed amps. 50 wpc, if you listen at reasonably low levels, would be more than enough. If at most you use 10 wpc on a dynamic peak: wheather the amp can deliver 50 wpc or 500 wpc wouldn't matter, was my point.

I'm sure there are people who can blaze through 100 watt amps easily in big rooms with dynamic source audio played at high levels. I like lots of progressive metal that has clean dynamic peaks that, in a big room, could probably get a 50 wpc amp to clip easily. I'm also sure that those 7.1 100 wpc receivers you see in kmart or costco will suck since they're not well designed, but a well designed amp that isn't extremely powerful will do just as well at low levels as a higher current amp.
