My Conrad-Johnson MF 2300A amp is rated at 240 watts at 8 ohms at no more than 1% distortion. Its the only spec they publish. When Stereophile tested the amp they determined 400 watts RMS into 4 ohms. It works fine with my 4 ohm Maggies.
Actually I haven't quoted the bench numbers without stating that they were bench numbers since you schooled me on the difference between them and the real output obtained by the FTC approved methods.

I don't think about much.
If I do , I think manufacturers spec.
I generally run at a very small portion of that (except my fleawatt amp).
I know some try to rock the neighbors (and sometimes the neighbor's neighbor's house).
To each their own.
I listen lower
Hey, just realized with all my posts in this thread, I never got around to mentioning the watts on my custom Latino!
Nothing scientific - just going with what they tell me on the dynaco forum - 60 watts per channel, around 66wpc using the KT100's with a well behaved rectifier and upgraded capacitance ...
And of course, this gives me another chance to show off my preciousssssssss ... <G>
