I think everyone agrees that MTX is a decent brand, I'm not in need of anything high-end.

The reason I chose MTX is because the price was good, And I had an MTX before and never had a problem with it. I also like the build quality, They seem be built pretty tough.

Put it this way. if the "tested" power was less than it's rated, would you ever buy one of their products again?

And the quality control says that they dont have enough control over their products to get the power "right"

Not really. An amp is designed to make 'at least' XXX watts. The manufacturer decides how much tolerance they want to allow over that. The only reason amps come with birthsheets is people in general like to believe they are getting something for free or over what they paid for.

I believe you are correct on the 'Free' part. I wonder if birthsheets are actually correct or just BS.

I guess I will never know, I am not even sure how they measure the RMS output...
