Howabout: 'Nnnooo'?

Let me give you the game here. Amps use devices some call 'pills'. Regardless of who makes the amp and what the BS claims about their amp are, the only answer that works is knowing the max watts that each pill will handle. Except for the amps that have the 2879 pills, all other amps only require 5w/peak - per pill - to fully be driven. Any more power than that, and they will go into distortion and have a shortened life.

Sooo, you have a 2 pill non-2879 amp? Ten watts/peak - that's it. Four pill non-2879 amp? Twenty watts/peak. The 2879 pill amps require TEN watts each to be fully driven, so now you can do the math. NOT average watts; peak.

The guys that put more than that into their amps - change them for new ones after they've burned them up.
