In reply to:
in my view power ratings aren't being "overstated"; the ratings are accurate in the light of different rating standards applied by different groups.
I believe they are very much being overstated if the white paper specs cannot match a real world bench test of that statement regardless of how the company hides behind the legal fenangling behind some obscure definition of the standards.
It is true that in a real world application at home this is of less concern, but ultimately if they state a unit can produce 100W /ch then i expect it to put out 100W /ch when i take it into the lab and plug it into a source which can draw that much power from it. This is how it is marketed and this is how people read it and the companies know that.
Enough of this creative marketing crap.
I'm fed up with it.
Where is the damn honesty and integrity gone in this world?
Or was it ever there to begin with?
