I agree with the need for higher power amplifiers (especially if one has
relatively inefficient speakers) since much new material like CD's and dbx
encoded material is making the 90dB dynamic range of a full orchestra a
reality.  That's one reason I bought my Hafler 220.  I'd also like to add
that not only does Hafler give you a good deal on watts/$, they also make
a very clean amplifier.  I could have paid considerably more for a power
amp (and was pleased that I didn't have to) but picked the Hafler for its
very low distortion and high dynamic headroom.  There are very few amps
that can handle 250w/ch (8 ohms) peaks with the kind of distortion the DH-220
has.
