WATTS are multiple of current AND voltage or a physical ability to do the WORK per unit of TIME(Joules per second).
Where's the solid state WATTS?
WATTS are important and so is important a condition under which these watts had been measured. Hence the most important spec you should pay attention for is sufficient number of CONTINUOUS WATTS i.e. continuous power which is likely neccessary to drive your speakers.
Then knowing the possible range of your speaker impedances you should verify if the amplifier will be able to handle the peak speaker loads.
Such specs as THD, peak power, S/N are now pointless...
And finally, WATTS are for all WATTs.
