[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6303253, member: 549629"] All good points. To go one step further, manufacturer power ratings are generally with the assumption of playing music, and they count on the transient nature of the signal to allow to enough cooling to handle the 'rms' rating they provide for 'continuous' use. IOW, they do not rate speakers with 100% duty-cycle. Even the manufacturers who give 'SPL' or burp ratings assume this is for 30 seconds or less, which is why that spec is generally higher than the music rating. [/QUOTE]
