[QUOTE="handsome, post: 812066, member: 772"] 700W/8 implies sine waves and we don't listen to those. a 700W/8 capability should be sustainable if you just listen to music through the the device - inrush, rectifier and protection issues aside - you will never require 700W continuous (you would need a 7000W amplifier just to enjoy 10dBs of dynamic range!) but you will benefit from the headroom that results. For more practical high power though Class G (tiered power supplies) is the usual solution. [/QUOTE]
