Hi folks,

In purchasing a high-end integrated amp, do I need to ensure that it has a minimum # of watts, assuming my speakers are fairly sensitive (89db, 6 ohms impedence) even if I listen at fairly low volumes? I've heard that there are sounds that momentarily require high(er) wattage to hear especially at low volumes. Is this true?

Thanks.

Now THIS is cool!

Yep- That's right, bring the 21st Century right back into the 19th! What could be better than using unbelievably complex technology (an ipod) to play music through a passively amplified horn Victrola!? I don't listen to an ipod generally, but this thing makes me want to! I could set it up on a table near my Well Tempered Turntable and do some double blind testing, heheh.

It is the audio writer's nightmare that the combination of the large number of exhibitors at a Consumer Electronics Show and the very limited amount of time the Show's doors are open will lead him to miss the event's biggest story. I came close to living that nightmare last January, at the 2007 CES, when I realized that I had missed an entire floor of Las Vegas's Venetian Hotel. And it was, of course, the floor where, among other high-profile high-end companies, Sumiko was debuting the Cremona Elipsa from Italian speaker manufacturer Sonus Faber.
