[QUOTE="alphabet, post: 42007, member: 11"] Most AVR manufacturers lie about their power ratings and attempt to aim at the "magical" 100 watts per channel. However they use different testing methods and forget to mention that the result was not with all channels driven. I previously had a Cambridge Audio 540R AVR and it was an impressive piece of equipment, even not too bad in stereo and that with 80 watts per channel, all channels driven. Now if you have to compare that with the Yamahas, Pioneers, Denons, Sonys, Onkyos, etc they all LIE about their specs. Now you compare that to stereo equipment and the lies are diminished to almost acceptable levels ;) [/QUOTE]
