Do not feel funny. You bring up an interesting point that specs are not always what is important in choosing electronics. One amp might be rated simply by using an eight ohm resistor and the other actually driving a loudspeaker load. Sounds like the HK has a better power supply. Even though it has a lower rating it can probably deliver more watts than rated while the other's power supply is being strained and protection circuitry is shutting it down. The better amp regardless of specs will always be the one that keeps playing.

Geez, I was half way through this thread before I noticed how old it was. I was about to respond to E-stat's post and try to guess who he meant.

89.372% of all threads on this forum are revivals (not really, I just made up a number, sounds good though, huh?).

But there are always newbies who don't know and oldsters who know better, but can't help dragging out and dusting off the old objectivist/subjectivist tedium.
