In which case, the amplifier can be termed as overrated or underrated respectively, right?
Please note LBM's statement above which says "they are underrated for what they can produce". This is a caution to the user. The user may not use the amp in the same circumstances as that when the amp was measured and rated. Hence he may end up sending more than the rated power. Confusion solved?
