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?
High current means it has a good power supply and sufficient output devices to provide it. It doesn’t really mean much unless they tell you the load impedance.
I remember a review a long time ago where a 45W Pioneer receiver put out the same 12.5A as a 50W Mark Levinson separate amp that was touted for it’s current output ;)
