All else remaining the same, how likely is it that a different amplifier will create the need for a new DRC filter?

I have a new amplifier on the way which is a more powerful version of the amplifier I currently use.

There are enhancements to the design but the essence of the design will remain as is.

While I know the proof will be in the listening (and maybe the measuring) if nothing else in my system changes, how likely is it that a different amplifier will create the need for a new DRC filter?

Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Highly unlikely for low distortion designs with high input impedance, which is what the majority of amps are. Esoteric tube amps should be remeasured and recalibrated, some of the ICEPower modules are load sensitive in the top, which could make a difference to the magnitude response in the top. But I believe most of them will measure practically the same as far as Audiolense goes.

Great news, Bernt, and I'm very grateful for your response.
