Agree. A lot of mass market receivers, my Onkyo included I was disgusted to find out, can meet there published specs with two channels driven but not all five. Even if they say it's all channels driven. Technically, each amplifier channel in a mass market receiver can produce the rated power. When you run all five, the power supply runs out of juice and the power drops SIGNIFICALLY. Like more than half on some units. Every now and then you can run across a test in a review for this. The NAD, and I assume Rotel, rate their products under the worst possible scenario, so do meet their rated power in all channels. Unlike Skullmurdoc, I do feel this is fraudrulent and the industry needs to police itself better before someone gets the bright idea the government needs to be involved. If you have relatively effecient speakers, this power game is not as big a concern.Bruce
