RE: [DML] Amplifiers.

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I worked with stereo in general several years ago and somewhat noticed that
quality of sound was sacrificed for power.
I always look for a low THD ( Total Harmonic distortion )and then the power.
Normally the lower the THD the better the sound as you turn the volume up.
I wanted .05 or lower for THD at 3/4 volume no matter what the power rating
was.
A simple 10 to 20 RMS watts / channel with a low THD was wonderful for car
stereo.

06068 has a 450W system..  and it sounds fine to me...
Just wish the car had an engine in it already!

So my answer would be YES, it makes a difference.
