Yes, Mr. Atkinson, you are correct, it doesn't clip at 2w. I was guilty of
a little hyperbole. Not out of place in this discussion of the $350K Wavac
I think.


I quite disagree. you had at least one other person convinced that the
manufaturers were lying outright about their product. Mr. Chung ask me what
else could the claim of 150 watts be other than a lie if it clips at 2 watts.


Let me modify the question to you then: If the rated power is 150 W and
the unit shows 2% distortion at 2 W, 5% distortion at 10 W, is the spec
a lie? If it is not a lie, what is it?


If the amplifier can produce 150W it is not a lie. Might be at a huge
distortion level, but if it can reach the power level, the spec sheet
doesn't lie. Does anyone know if it can?
