I was reading specs on receivers on the HK website and was looking at the high instantaneous current (HCC) specs, do other manufacturers provide this as well? How important is this spec? I do not recall seeing it on any of the other websites for Outlaw, Denon, Onkyo, etc. The AVR-635 says +/- 50 Amps. I think my old HK Signature 2.1 says +/- 100 Amps. What difference would this make in the listening experience? I am thinking it is for the dynamic headroom people talk so much about, the sudden loud passages especially found in movies etc.

Anyway my question is why other manufacturers do not provide this figure. Or maybe they call it something else?
