Amplifier Specs

Hey Guys:

Why would a company like B&K provide amplifier specs that use "cheater" measurments like "150 watts @ 1 kHz into 8 ohms"? I know the simple answer would be that their amplifiers can't deliver legitimate power and they need to "cheat" to get the specs up. But would a company like B&K, not exactly low end, really need to cheat?

I'm not sure I understand: why do you think "150W @ 1kHz/8 0hm load" a cheater spec?
It is unlikely that this is a misrepresentation... it may not mean much (i.e. 8 ohms resistive, average? what about @ 20kHz, etc) -- but cheating?
