“But the only functional difference between amp classes is the power efficiency... Thus the article holds just fine. I beg to differ. Read my previous post - it's a stereo amp vs. multichannel amp thing. What about stereo fanatics? Why do we get left out? :D I have to admit, especially with amplifiers, pro audio equipment often is an excellent value. Budget pro amps are usually much better than budget stereo amps.”

“No, not modern amplifier specs. Multichannel amplifier specs are meaningless - Or rather, can be meaningless. http://www.ftc.gov/os/2010/01/P974222amplifierrule.pdf Basically, the additional channels for HT receivers are not expected to ever be operated at or near their maximum output power for extended periods of time at the same time as the other channels, so the FTC decided that extending the output rule that applies to stereo (and by association, the defunct quadraphonic) amplifiers was not necessary. Multichannel amplifiers are still required to abide by the Rule for at least the two primary channels. After that, it's all up to the manufacturers as to how they specify their amps. Low-end products such as this tend to use the most virulent of specifications.”

“No, you can not. Never. Not under any circumstances, ever. To suggest otherwise is to completely lack understanding of basic physics and electrical theory. The line voltage is fixed. So the (maximum continuous) power input is dependent only on the (maximum continuous) current draw of the device, which is known as the (maximum continuous) power draw is known. If you have a step up transformer, you can increase the voltage, yes. But it's in violation of the first law of thermodynamics for the output current not to decrease in such a transformer. Therefore, you still have the same amount of power (less the heat loss from the transformer).”

“Sorry Woot!, but "biken" isn't even close to "biking" or "bike" in any Scandinavian language. "Cykel" is Swedish (and Danish) for "bike"; Norwegian is "sykkel". You don't even want to know what it is in Icelandic. But I kinda like the shirt anyway.”
