@kijanki I think, we are talking about two different things. I have never mentioned actual amplifier’s power at clipping but rather manufacturer’s specifications (that are quite different), that calls for power doubling (or close to it). I have also noticed personal comments from you, placing my math ability in question and calling me to learn basic electronics. I believe that I have some comprehension of basic electronics designing it for 40 years and therefore I view your comments as harmful, therefore refusing to comment on anything you have to say from this point on. Perhaps one day, when you change your attitude we can start talking again.
If we are talking about two different things what are they? Im just talking about simple RMS power. I try to make my comments as non personal as possible. I will go back and have a look at them and apologize appropriately. Im not here to pick a fight. Lets just get the information right. :)
I still dont see why a manfacturer calling for power doubing on a piece of paper has anything do to with what the amp does. What spec makes it different than clippiing. Most power amps have very low distortion till they clip.
Declining to answer simple questions or support statements does us no good in a forum. I am here trying to correct things. If I am incorrect then bring me the proof. This is really simple stuff.
Im sure you math skills are fine. This is about a concept. Starting a post with "There is no such thing as RMS power." Is rather bold. We measure it all the time. If one wants to be contrary to accepted terms he had better have some good material to back it up. This I have not seen.
I was fine having a discussion until you quoted a very poor Wickipedia article and.. did you have to add to AL ???
Al, leave it (he is not going to get it). .
I politely objected to that. Not going to get it? I also offered to apologize if I was incorrect.
Why not build a few amplifiers to see if your theories are correct and dont forget the emitter resistors.. :)
