In(non)credible power ratings

Maybe this link will explain it better : http://sound.westhost.com/power.htm

Thanks for the reference. Funny stuff.

As far as watts go, there are watts and there are watts, and it all depends on how they are measured, and home theatre manufacturers aren't mandated by law to state how they are measured.

Didn't the FTC stick their nose into this issue at one point? But that doesn't apply to home theaters?
