FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED

Sharing an important issue you all may or may not already be aware of. Gene from audioholics did a full video on this linked below. The FTC may end the amplifier rule so that companies can go back to making misleading claims on power output of their amplifiers. We should all get on the govt website and comment to try to stop this from happening!

The way that Denon is rated and what it outputs, driving seven channels, isn't an, "example" of anything.        It's capable of 11.2 channels.      You expect every HT receiver company to list the output of their components, into every conceivable system/channel configuration and impedance/load?     Positing/assuming (everyone's crooked) = HILARIOUS (HEP ME, Big Brother, HEP ME)!

"I had a Denon X6500H for example that is rated 140 wpc,  2 CHANNELS DRIVEN.   Gene tested it with 7 CHANNELS DRIVEN and the wattage was only 64 wpc or so."        That’s EXACTLY what’s to be expected, with a component of more than two channels.      ESPECIALLY: comparing TWO channels driven, to SEVEN.      What’s your point?
