[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 58881, member: 126"] Re: New Lightweight Power Amp Ratings A reliable way to characterize amplifier duty-cycle, especially in the context of music and speaker loads is not getting any closer IMO. This is the mirror image of speaker driver power handling, but since amplifier and drivers are not routinely connected one to one, even standardizing to a similar standard leaves room for misunderstanding and misapplication. In practice, this gets sorted out by the marketplace, with more demanding applications getting solutions from premium amp models, and mass market amps aiming for the lower common denominator, often with lighter duty design. I remain an advocate for powered speakers, where the details of amp design to match a speaker and application can be performed by someone with access to more complete information. or not...
