THe sound quality will be the same. You aren't going to over drive
either one. Now if you wanted to crank the sucker up and shake the
windows and have the whole neighborhood on your neck it might be a
different story.
30 watts per channel will be a 3 db increase in the sound level... Or
just enough for you to hear the you turned it louder. You won't be
operating anywhere near that. You will be in a linear portion of the
output and it will make no difference. THe salesman probably just gets
a bigger commission on the other one, and he wants to sound like he
knows more than you do. Sales Hype.
