[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 42009, member: 122"] Geesh, but I'm surrounded by cynical old farts :D I stopped looking at power ratings a looooong time ago. They mean nothing, as alluded to already. 50WRMS? 150WRMS? Who cares?! As long as it gets the job done, it's irrelevant. 50WRMS is a lot of juice per channel. If you need more power than that, you've got bigger problems than choosing an amp. I do wish, though, that they'd rate power amps in the amount of current that can be delivered. That, to me, would mean a lot more as it would indicate the reserves that the PSU is capable of. An indication of this is doubling of wattage when impedance gets halved. Those are the amps that are important/noteworthy. But, as always, take my opinion with a bucketload of salt ;D [/QUOTE]
