From what a lot of my friends are saying, it is not the raw power that matters, but the control and authority something has. There are many specifications of an amp that change the sound besides the raw power, like the slew rate and the power rails. A somewhat weaker power wise amp can sound extremely good and controlled. There are inexpensive amps that have a lot of power, like for example, FiiO K5.
Absolutely correct! I have been saying this here in the forums for years, probably here a few times. It's not the "push", it's the "grip" that matters.
