signal to noise measurements can be very helpful, but they are only one of many indicators of performance that have to be taken into consideration. SS amp manufacturers usually take measurements at close to (close to not at) max power where their distortion is lowest. At 1 Watt and below, these measurements would be far worse for many amps, so those numbers are not quoted. Sometimes s/n graphs are shown down to 1 Watt ar a half Watt or lower, and you begin to get an idea about how the amp will sound on efficient speakers at moderate volume. But again, those are only indicators to help you decide what to audition (not what to buy). I suggest you get the speakers then begin auditioning amps.

So what I should do is get the speakers and then bring them to a high end audio store and try them on various amps?
