[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 21733, member: 542392"] Well... here is the major thing... ALL systems have distortion. Speakers are the major problem. If you find a system with a complete average of 3% distortion from the source unit to the tested output, you are doing **** good. Clipping, 99% of systems have, even though we don't know it. It's been numerically beaten (that horse is pretty dead, although I don't know if I fully agree with it) that it will take roughly 10 times your actual output requirements for dynamic headroom to not have an amplifier clip on you duing musical peaks. (so your 100x2 front amp? Run it at 10x2 or forget it- cause there will be clipping) Just for reiteration: Square waves have no relative correlation to DC and cannot be called DC voltage, I believe I went further into this a few posts ago... can't quite recall...
