Bobby, your "all channels" comment indicates that you may be giving that more significance than it deserves. Even when all the channels are active from time to time there's almost no situation where they would simultaneously have to output full power. The standard two-channels driven spec required to meet FTC power regulations is probably the most realistic. Audioholics often has commented on the lack of real-world significance of the all channels numbers and only tests with one and two channels driven simultaneously at full power. S&V still includes an all channels test besides one and two channels, but they typically comment when the all channels number is significantly lower that this had no effect in actual multi-channel operation and the unit handled it well.
