And wouldn't object to being asked to deliver considerably more if
momentarily demanded? You seem to be arguing against transient
headroom :-)

Anyone who knows anything about amps *does* argue against 'transient
headroom', which is just another word for a cheap power supply. Take a
£15,000 Krell amp, for instance. This will deliver close to a kilowatt
into an 8 ohm load forever, with virtually *no* 'transient headroom'.
You think this makes it lacking in 'slam'?
