Squawks, don't want to start a fight here but drivers are by far the most important aspect of a quality setup. If you were forced to skimp on one part of your system, amps should be the first. With quality signal processing(head unit, crossovers) and quality drivers, its really diminishing returns for money spent on "reference" amps as long as you have a quality with a low distortion level.
In your example, obviously anything powered by an outboard amp is going to sound a hell of a lot better than something ran off the head unit. Also, you are right amp wattage(and speaker sensativity) is directly related to distortion-but I'll take average amps and good drivers and sound processing over average drivers and good amps anyday.
