HAHAHAHAHA "10 Watts(RMS) Sub-Woofer, 2 Watts x 2(RMS) satellites" Off their website. That is 1/100 of the power they claim their amplifier can put out. I bet that amplifier cant even do that much for more than a fraction of a second.

Seriously peak rms, whatever, its meaningless! Read above! There are too many factors you need to include for an accurate representation of power output.

That is rather ironic that you write that, as I have never heard of anyone complaining that an amplifier was no good for bass, but great for midranges. Distortion is much harder to detect at lower frequencies that at higher ones. Not to mention the power needs of lower frequencies are...

The problem is, the slew rate and damping factor can be manipulated along with the power ratings of an amplifier. Damping factor is just the ratio of the output transistor resistance to the load being driven. You can substitute a higher impedence loudspeaker to make the number better. Not to...

Uhhhh, 30dB??? You might want to check your math. Using 10 * log(dB1 / dB2) and inputing 1 and 100 for the change in power factors, you get 20dB, not 30dB. It would require 1000 times as many amplifiers to give a 30dB gain. And, you are not taking into acount driver power compression or the...

That thing cannot put out a constant 30w. Here is an old post regarding the myth of amplifier output: Its refering to a pair of Logitech computer speakers. "Some of you seem confused about power measurement. PMPO stands for complete power lie basically. Peak power stands for 2 times RMS...

Guys, that power measurement rating is probably incorrect, just like the power rating of any other PC speaker set. I have yet to see a set of PC speakers amplifier actually produce its rated output.

Hmm, well I personally would not buy any speakers if I had to use an equilizer on them, but thats just me. I do infact have an equilizer, but it is for my subwoofer, and is needed to fix room modes and other such problems. Good luck on your purchase.

I checked out that Nad website regarding the "Power Envelope". I see several problems with this. First, the dynamic power does not give any indication of how long the amplifier can output that much power before clipping. A gunshot or explosion is not nescesarily going to fit inside that...

The h/k is probably being more accurate in its power rating specifications. 40w x 5 is equal to 200w total. That means the power supply has to convert the 120vac power from the wall to probably around 35vdc on the power rails. The current needed to support assuming a class A/B design with...

Im still not quite sure I understand what you are saying. When comparing two amplifiers with the same speakers, the more powerfull amplifier will be louder. But when comparing with different speakers, you cannot make the same observation. As for the "power envelope" technology, I have NEVER...

I am sorry, but that is incorrect. The higher power rating does not necessarily mean it can play louder, or sound better. I have seen 20 dollar speakers with a 1000w power rating, would they be better than the z560's? Of course not. In realistic terms, the power output of the amplifier does...

What are you refering to? Digital means the audio signal is represented in bits rather than an analog waveform. TECHNICALLY, digital is less accurate than analog, but most digital formats such as redbook cd audio or mp3 compression over 256kbits are inaudible. As for the power issue, neither...

Guys- A lot of you seem to be confused about comparing speakers. You say that one has a certain power value, and the other has one as well. Power ratings are not a basis for making comparisons in speakers, whether it be for sound quality or SPL. Below is a post I made regarding the power...

OK, OK, you got me. It really does depend on the person's amplifier preference. But seriously, if an amplifier has a "sweet" midrange, I assume you are talking about frequency response abnormalities or phase shift, impulse response, harmonic distortion, etc. Would that not be technically...
