I think Outlaws response to this issue is accurate enough. What is the issue? Do you think the 750/755/770 will not actually deliver their rated power?
P=V^2/2R
Power is RMS, volts are peak and R is in ohms.

Um.... How can you compute root mean square watts from peak volts?

Basicly I think the issue is whether the 770 can really deliver 2100 watts to 7 speakers CONTINUOUSLY while drawing 1800 watts from the outlet. This would seem to be a neat trick.

I have little doubt it can do it (and probably more) for brief moments and I'm pretty sure it can more than deliver the goods on real program material. That's not at issue.

I can't think of any MUSICAL or HT application where I would have a source that required a symetrical high level sustained signal from all channels. But this (highly artificial) scenario seems to have made its way into the specs.
