Understanding
Power Ratings
Peak,
Max, and most
non-conditional watt claims
refer to the amount of power
that a component can
generate or handle on a momentary
basis. The unit, however, cannot sustain
this level continuously.
RMS,
or Continuous watts
indicate how much power
can be exchanged on a
constant basis, at the
rated load, without damaging
the unit. In some
cases,
the stated Max or Peak
power is equal to roughly
twice the actual RMS power.
However, a few manufacturers
exaggerate
Max or Peak
power claims -- sometimes
up to five or ten
times
actual RMS power.
When considering amplifier
power
ratings, always divide
total advertised power by
number of channels.
Gain
& Volume:
Keep the gain on your
amplifier below 65% and
the volume of the receiver
below 50% with typical high
amplitude (loud) music.
This may help avoid
destructive clipping distortion
