Title.

Some amplifiers are marketed with “Current of XX Ampere in each channel”. I googled it and the only thing I managed to find was some forum expert saying “Current is more important than wattage rating”. But I still don’t understand why. Ohms law is still ohms law. Doesn’t matter if you advertise one or two of the factoring numbers from the equation.

Parasound advertise their amplifiers with current rating. Does is matter and why don’t other brands do it as well?

    Yea… not actually how it works. Running out of voltage results in square waves. Short peaks of 200 watts is not going to burn out a tweeter’s voice coil. Clipping results in square waves. Continuous 30 watts can easily melt a tweeter’s voice coil.
