Ya, This is why we actually want to look at the power into a stereo rather than looking at speaker power.
If a person has a cheaper system that has a cassette, cd player, turn table, 8 track tape
combo. It will consume more power than a unit of similiar rated power output that is just a stereo running fm. Each component consuming its own little bit of juice.
Is anybody hear an expert in the field of electronic sound reproduction? I remember learning some about THD when I was a kid. I always looked at it on every system I have ever seen sense. Its kind of interesting to look at the brands and noise level ratings. I remember going into Ultimate Electronics one time and Harman Kardons were the highest level of distorsion I could find at 1%. (This was several years ago)
So if we have an expert or just others who like quality sound. I have a question about THD.
total HARMONIC distortion, what about the distortion that isn't harmonic.
