Default 4 ohm watts and 8 ohm watts

The hidden agenda is that most PA amps have specs equal or better than
HiFi amps, if you back off their power ratings. IOW, take a 200 wpc
power amp with speced 1% THD, drop the power rating back to 160 wpc,
and watch the THD drop to 0.05% or better.


The wording in the spec sheet is...

20 Hz - 20 kHz @ 0.1% THD, both channels driven:

8 ohms per channel: 260 W

4 ohms per channel: 400 W


Is there any reason to think that the quoted THD is at anything other than
the quoted output?
