[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 2062036, member: 540940"] Well, it's not quite as simple as you're trying to make it, but yes, a watt is a watt no matter what it costs. The issue is a GOOD 100w amp is going to produce 100w or more, while a cheap 100w amp migh only produce 75, or less, and THAT is the difference people hear and thinks it's due to the "sound quality" of the amp. It's not, it's ACTUAL power. We would probably see a lot more Pyramids and Boss amps being used if they actually built something that put out some real power. The problem is - when you look at Pyramid's manuals on line you'll find that their $100 ebay 2000w amplifiers are actually rated for about 400w rms. People buy them and put them up against their friends RF's and Kickers that actually DO put out some power - then they say, "Oh, this pyramid has horrible sound quality." No, it doesn't, it's just a lot less powerful. [/QUOTE]
