When we read, for example, "100 watts, 20Hz-20KHz, maximum 0.08% THD, 8 ohms(FTC)" that's what we get, as the independent lab tests have consistently shown.
"CES" in an audio context usually refers to the Consumer Electronics Show,
Does FTC testing require 20 to 20? I thought it only required 1 frequency, which is what caused the BS wattage arms race to begin years ago. Everybody had a 1000 watt amp
when run at 15,000 hz.
If FTC means 20-20 then ok, I'm coming around. Now a dumb [dumber?] question: does your comment only apply when they cite "FTC" or any time they claim 20 to 20? I don't want to assume FTC if that is not the case.
Finally, yes I meant CEA, not CES. Good catch. I think to get CES certified, you have to have neon lights hooked up to the amp, and the sub must spin. Still working on that in my HT - wires keep getting tangled.
