I shouldn't pick nits but current is the key - not power. Many amps have high power & no current. Others (mainly Euro amps) have lower power & good current. Ohms law variant: Power (watts) = Voltage X Current (amps)

The GFA-555, albeit a reasonably crude sounding amp (imho) had decent current capabilities. Krell was the goto (in the day) for somewhat better sound. GFA stood for Great F***ing Amp.

Emits were ribbons & therefore not a stat.
