[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8703796, member: 679555"] God I hate how Sony hides all their power ratings on their website, annoying bs. You literally have to go into the manual to find out the RMS values lol, it's not on the specs. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4740/de0cea3deac418e2d4780819876b2f2a/47408851M.pdf[/URL] Page 20.
