@w12: I do not doubt the fact that they are good amplifiers. I only cast a doubt on the way they are rated. This particular amp states 175W/ch @6ohm, 1 channel driven at typical FTC specs (1kHz, <1% distortion). However if you see the results you posted, the clipping power is 144W @8ohm and just 80W @8ohm when all channels are driven. Also clipping means way way way more distortion than just 10%. If an amp clips with a speaker connected to it, the tweeter will blow.

When an amp states a certain power and the measured results are something way off, its ridiculous. As you see from the tests, if a pair of channels are driven, the clipping power would be roughly around 120W and hence the usable power won't be more than 80W. So effectively a 175W claimed power by the maker is only 80W in real world.

@low_bass_maker: Dude I'm talking about 100 watt @8ohm, serious stereo home amplifiers and not some car boom box amps. Car amps are all rated at 4 ohm or lower and hence can't be compared to home amp power specs which are rated at 8ohms.

@shuvc: It just doesn't give the appearance of a solidly built speaker. Whether this matters or not is personal. But nothing really will happen to it when playing music. Its only if its say moved from one point to another later in its life that it might fall apart. One never knows.
