Jez - 2-5 watts into effecient speakers is pretty loud! - 20W WILL be too loud for most people to bear. If you are driving really ineffecient speakers such as LS3/5A's or IMF's or similar (eg anything with a complex passive crossover) then maybe you would need a lot more power (current) delivery. My own system (which can deliver >1.5kW) is rarely called upon to ACTUALLY deliver more than 25W into the speakers! What you do get with big amps is lots of dynamic headroom - but that's different discussion. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
