Difference between 50,60,70....100 watts-->Bragging rights?

Well.....

Sometimes there are VU meters that post the output wattage (lets assume they are accurate), and those can be misleading. 10 watts through a K-Mart amp may be at a much higher distortion level than 10 watts through a Yamaha amp - given the same speakers. You may be at exactly the same dB's, but the sound could be totally different because of distortion (no clipping). Yes, the amp has no idea, but we can track the output in wattage.

I don't think we were talking about amps that are not comparable. Mostly the discussions are about one good brand and another good brand, comparable amps.
