Lots of claims with no credible explanations. The reason no manufacturer specifies "useable power" is that it's not measurable. How do you quantify "sounds good" or "sounds best"? It's a highly subjective term. We have reached a point where many people (perhaps most) are perfectly satisfied with 2" speakers driven by MP3 players. They would claim that it "sounds good".
The best example of how far "we" have regressed is in "home theater" systems. We are up to 8.1 - 5.1 systems are now outdated. I tried to purchase a "center speaker" at Best Buy and Radio Schick. Guess what - they aren't readily available any more, because "everyone" wants a "soundbar". What exactly is the point of a 5.1 system when all the speakers are in one box? Sorry for the unrelated tirade.
