Small correction. The receiver is rated 100W+100W, 2 channels driven


Yes i slipped back into a thought on my own receiver which is rated at 100w/ch, but as all channels are driven, the reality is more like 70w+ per ch.
In your case, 100W + 100W would be a split.
Dual power supplies?
Dual mono design?
Or just a spec?

It seems like plenty of headroom, but push those dB into the 90+ range and watts consumed still fall under the max. rated spec yet distortion is created.
The paradox of it all!!
