It is getting too quiet here! :) So lets try this subject!

What do you guys think, is there a relation between the quoted power consumption of an amplifier and the true output(watts RMS)?

It just so happens that most of the amplifiers I felt had power in reserve has a relatively high quoted power consumption and those I felt were underpowered had a low quoted power consumption.

I have not done any research in this regard except to look at the figures of some amplifiers, but felt that we could get some interesting responses on the matter.
