Peak doesn't mean much of anything unless we know how it was derived. Well, really if all are derived from the same method of testing. Is there a standard for that in home theater? There isn't in cars, so everyone with any intelligence just ignores it. What about for RMS? My understanding is that it's sustained power for 8 hours or more. Is it the same for HT?

I had actually been hearing from some guys who know more that the Sunfire is priced kind of high for what it can do. Like georg said, probably has more distortion at the higher levels. It's been quite some time since I heard one. I've learned a lot more since then too.
