Adjustable Output Power

[Mikeeo]

Didn't thought about testing the power reduction though I really would like to. What are the benefits in terms of sound quality? I think my Raidho X1 are quite low in efficiency so too much power reduction will perhaps not work so are there any 'golden' power position ie when pre amp section is maximized?

It's a theory more than anything at this point.  I just wanted others to try it and see if we can come to some type of consensus.

Yes, I've read the Raidho's like the power.  The golden number would be on a speaker by speaker and room by room basis.

I think a simple rule would be: If you barely turn up the volume to get to your comfortable listening level you have room to play with lower power output.  If you have to turn the power up a little more to get to that listening level, you probably are already passed the point where people feel the Devialets lose detail and probably won't notice much of a difference.

Thanks for the input! I have to turn up quite a bit running at -25 to -5 dB, but I will try anyway to rule out any negatives or positives.
