[QUOTE="LoneRanger, post: 320763, member: 540903"] I love it when people who are smarter than me repeate what i said like 10 posts ago [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif[/IMG] It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy...... Do we really need to get into this whole "audible distortion" thing again? Here's all you need to know on the subject: At normal operating temperatures, you can't tell the difference between 200RMS out of a legacy or 200w RMS a sinfoni amp. 200w rms is 200w rms, no matter how you slice it.
