all i'm saying is that there are people who wouldn't use a tone control or graphic equalizer and think that their very presence in some way audibly degrades the sound so they buy things without them. Me, I don't think that way. That's a valid point though that Paul brings up in the way of manufacturers specifying one power rating but actual measurements showing another. The problem here usually lies in the 5.1 or whatever power ratings. In 2 channel mode they're mandated by the FCC to provide numbers that read something like 100 watts/channel RMS, both channels driven, @8 ohms, 20-20kHz
