No doubt, but none of those manufacturers actually give an all channels driven specification to tell you what they are capable of in terms of total power draw. Any specification sheet I have read lately has shown only two channels driven and the number was always the same as the watts x 5/7 number.

So, an amp that can deliver up to 150 watts to any of its 5 channels, but only lists 150x2 in its specs only promises 300w over 5 channels, even if, as with the 3808, it is capable of more.
