Miniscule ? Care to give a number ? Can you even give an
example. I've never seen such a number quoted on a spec.

No need to take a manufacturers word for it, sound cards
with 0.001% THD & IMD are readily available for you to
do your own FFT testing.

Agreed. M-Audio's $190 AP 24192 has better than 100 dB dynamic range and ca.
100 KHz bandwidth. Emu has cards that test out easily as good, and are
priced just above $120.

If you have never tested an amplifier yourself, why
pretend you are an expert?

It seems that Grapham's posturing about QSC amps is based on sighted
listening tests, only.

Especially when it is now so
easy at the low power levels you are worried about.

Agreed. It takes next to no addtional infrastructure to test power amps at
the 1 watt level.

The theory is correct, but not necessarily a real
problem.

I'll bet that the 100mW THD is still MORE than the 'just
prior to clip' THD.

Only if one confuses THD+N with THD.

Usually, but still insignificant, so what is the problem?

The problem is that even when faced with actual lab results, Graham attacks
the results instead of learning the lesson.
