What would you put more priority on, more power or a more upscale amp ?
I have a Lexicon NT512 ( AKA Bryston 9bst ) driving 5 nht m5's which are rated at 85db efficiency. I normally watch movies at around -7~8 db and I dont ever see the clip lights come at this level BUT if I go just a little higher say -4 db or so I see the clip lights glow orange/red on ball busting scenes.
I guess in other words, is I think Im kinda on the edge as far as power goes but I really like the Bryston "sound"...Soo Im considering more watts from a "lesser" quality amp.
Which in your opinion outweighs the other, quality versues quanity ?
