Right, it can keep pouring more fuel on the fire, it just gets more and more distorted as more of the signals peak is chopped off - i.e., there is more area in the clipped segment of the signal cone. My Denon gets harsh on certain frequencies when driven hard. My separate amp does not, because it is not clipping the signal at the same db as the Denon was.

Maybe my Denon and the HT Mag test unit came from the same defective lot? Then again, I don't think I even had it at the time of this press release.
