Can you comment on the response or performance of that amp with
less-sensitive speakers? I've also been told it might not do so well
with highly dynamic digital sources... ?

What speakers? Can you find their sensitivity spec? It'll
be something in xx dBSPL/1W/1M or something like that.

How close to the speakers do you expect to be listening?
A +14dBW per channel amplifier pair can make an uncorrelated
+17dBW at 1meter (nearfield) from a one watt source.

If you consider 80dB SPL (loud for me, but I'm old) to be
0VU, then even an old party like a Mc225 can make 88 + 17
= 105 dBSPL uncorrelated (the classic ((marginally true
these days)) orchestral peak volume) with a typical 88dB
SPL/1W/1M monitor pair and an assumed 17 dB peak to average
ratio.

More, is, as always, more. And "cain't hoit".
But smaller has it's own rewards. I started to extrapolate
into Western tastes of males for females, but that's
just WRONG, as my new coworker Lee puts it so eloquently,
and so often.
