Priz, if you have evidence of that, file a formal complaint with the FTC, because it would be a violation of the regulations. All receiver/amplifiers sold in the U.S. have to meet the power rating resulting from the test method in the FTC regs.




You may be getting the specified wattage but only at peak times and not on all channels like you get with H/K, Yamaha, Denon etc. I seem to remember a post/article somewhere with receiver wattages listed and all channels driven and Sony's(low end receiver) came up very short, as well as a few others, but the more pricey receivers(Onkyo, H/K, Denon, upper end Sony, etc) were very close to their ratings or surpassed them. But this was from a few years ago when I was looking for my equipment.
