FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED

Realistically the FTC is not the organization for this. The rule is outdated and does not take into account actual audio usage, hence it could punish some and reward others.   The AES would be better publishing a suite of measurements and then the public chastising / pushing companies to test to that standard. You would end up with more realistic / real world ratings.

Most people on this forum have no clue what the frequency response is of their speakers let alone their room.

@audio2design I agree with everything you said. If the rule was removed due to lack of action from the community I don't want to hear a single complaint against faulty and misleading specs. 

The best thing about regulations enforced by the government is that government workers can’t be fired for incompetence.

back in the 70's, many companys rated their units at like 200 watts when they were actually 10 watts! doe's anyone remember this??
