The problem isn't that the amp won't sound good or won't be satisfactory, as 99.9999% of people will never experience a lack of power or clipping with this amp. Even 100 watts per channel into 4 ohms for 7 speakers is way more wattage than most people need. The problem is that the specifications say that the amp can produce a continuous 300 watts per channel for all 7 channels into 4 ohms. This simply is not possible based on an admitted limitation of 1800 watts through the transformers.

The issue is simply incorrect specifications. There should be an asterisk that says something to the effect of "* amplifier power is limited to input voltage and current. With a 120V and 15A circuit, this amp will produce X watts per channel into 4 ohms, all 7 channels driven 20-20kHz." Where X is less than 300 watts.

For me, when a company makes a statement that I know is not true, I lose some faith in the company. Is it a big deal? Not really, but it does make me wonder.
