Simply put, some Harman Kardon recievers have different and better amps than others.

When people say "clean" or "pure" watts, what they means is what a reciever REALLY puts out as opposed to what they SAY they put out. For instance, some lower end Sony recievers (non-ES line) claim to put out 100 watts into 6 channels with 8 ohms resistence. In actuality it is closer to 35 watts/channel CONSTANT. 100 watts is really with 1 channel driven into 1 khz. When in a movie is only 1 channel playing at a single frequency? Never.

Also, H/K are usually underrated. Some more than others, but you can trust that you are getting the wattage they promise.
