they claim that wattage which is some sort of "max" rating. Pro Sound often avoids the "X watts into Y ohms from 20-20K @Z% distortion" formula which gives a better picture of actual performance. Crown, QSD and Peavey follow this model.

There's a Peavey at Parts Express for $449 that claims 1500WPC @2 ohms and it weighs in at a hefty 7-1/2 pounds. Even at 100% efficiency which is impossible 3000 watts divided by 120V = 25 amps of line potentially current needed yet it has a 15A IEC.......

All of these amps use class D switching supplies. They offer a good value I guess. Crown and QSD also offer a similar unit to the Behringer with the DSP/Crossover/EQ functions.
