Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions B&K Receiver for M80's

So what you're saying, if I understand it, John, is that what we see as the RMS rating is governed by the FTC. So if an amp is rated at 100 WPC, .08% THD, those figures MUST be correct per the FTC--HOWEVER, that would seem to be somewhat arbitrary, because the same receiver might be able to do 120WPC, at, say, 1.2%THD (assuming it doesn't shut down), and likewise might do 80WPC at .007% THD.
