Jeffsel, this is my direct experience with the "more power" issue. I once owned Aerial 7B loudpeakers and drove them with a Bryston 4B SST amplifier. The Aerials didn't "pop" with that amp which was rated at 250 w/ch. So, it was recommended to me that I switch to a Bryston 14B SST, which is 600 w/ch. Now, of course I never used the 600 watts available, but even at low listening levels it was obvious that the extra power made a difference. More bass at lower levels, and just more musicality overall. I'm not a techie, so I can't explain why this was true, but I know first hand that it is true.
Do Any High End Speakers Boogie/Rock? BW 804 Blues
Hello Fellow Audiogoners: I am interested in hearing if any audiophile sytems (speaker plus amplification) that can boogie and rock! What I mean here is a detailed but coherent and rich sound, not like a bunch of separate instruments that don't gell together. And not biased so brightly that symbols and highs dominate, making a thin and grating sound. I wonder if it is possible in what appears to be the analytical world of high end audio.
I'm a frustrated B&W Nautilis 804 owner that likes rock/blues/ok recorded cds in addition to jazz, classical, vocal etc, and I'm not interested in endless tweaking of cables/amplifiers/source to try to get these revealing speakers to sound good on a majority of my music collection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
