I built a 300b amp several years ago.. Also a little 5watt F2 (pass labs) solid state amp.
Both can be played as loud as Im comfortable listening, and sound GREAT!
I just got a new car w/ upgraded sound system, 350 watts per channel. Figured it would be way way way more than I ever needed.
But, driving around listening to it, at levels comparable to what I listen to my tube amp in my living room, I get TONS of distortion out of the car system. And this system gets GREAT reviews.
It sounds good in general.. But its a world away from being great.
I guess this is a sort of pointless post, but I was just shocked at the discrepancy
