[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 5862870, member: 596464"] Ok, I'll admit that calling you a n00b was uncalled for and I will even agree that birth sheets are fairly useless under most practical applications. Some questions that should be asked of many birth sheets since that information isn't provided include: Did they rate power at the mythical 14.4 volts as dictated by CEA 2006? Can one's electrical system maintain 14.4 volts under severe load? Did they measure distortion with a properly calibrated Audio Precision device? Was output measured upon power up or after the amplifier reached its operating temperature? What frequency range was used to show this "rated" power output or was it a single frequency? and I can go on... No matter how you slice it or dice it, birth sheets are just another marketing tool!
