What would be the best way to compare separate component home theater sound system watts versus HTIB system watts given the way (rms, peak power, etc.) different companies rate wattage?
I just finished reading an article -- bittersweet.ondragonswing.com/005615.html -- that, generally speaking, says that most HTIB systems use class AB amps and that a class AB amps output is 50% efficient. The article goes on to say to calculate the power draw numbers of the amp in watts and divide by 2 to get the approximate true power output of a HTIB system when comparing to a separate component system.
I was wondering if the experts on this forum would agree with the article?
Thanks,
Yeto
