FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED

  It's very simple, it's better than nothing.

We need independent tested specs, to keep all manufacturers honest about their published specs.

The answer surely is for the FTC not to remove the existing rule until it has devised a new one, suitable for multi-channel equipment.  Then people will be able to make reliable power output comparisons without having to buy the wrong equipment countless times through trial and error because specifications are not reliable or properly comparable.

Most people on this forum know what to look for. It is the less informed consumers that are duped by inflated specs. Many manufacturers now get their advertised wattage with 1 channel driven into 6 ohms. Then salesmen tell them they are getting 140 watts per channel. Most consumers get lost if you try to explain power ratings in too much detail.

There's gotta be a Global Warming angle to this...Damn you Greta...Damn you!
