We are talking about a decade ago. Also, the highere end denons have always been close to or above rated power. the cheaper models, however, were not even close.

Perhaps I stepped on some Denon owner's toes. I also have always known about the marketing hype. In another post I wrote about one channel driven from 50-20khz. 75X2@1khz is another good one.

Some of these manufacturers play the watts game just like auto manufacturers played the horsepower game...until they got caught. Who were the two worst offenders in the automobile power scam 3 years ago? Honda and Toyota.
