That urge to upgrade is a killer . Leave your Amp alone... Start researching new speakersI am a scientist myself (molecular biologist) and I always get surprised by the rigorous scientific approach to audio in this forum.
As I cannot provide more accurate measurements that could help with a data-based answer, I see two main schools of thought when addressing the question "subjectively":
1) You're fine if you can't hear clipping.
2) Get as much power as you can.
At the end of the day, if I have to invest in a full set of tools to be able to properly measure amp power delivery, I would rather go for a more powerful amp .
Assuming that I am happy with the volume level that I get from my system and that I cannot hear any sign of clipping or distortion at my normal listening level, is there any benefit in getting more power?
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your help and learn a lot from your answers.
Meantime, a umic measurement microphone isn't expensive and will keep you really busy - so busy that you might put off upgrading. It's also the best way you can improve your sound.
Enjoy
