Question

If a "100 watt" amplifier "clips" (minimally defined as 1% THD at 1kHZ) at 40 watts "continous" power, isn't it, in fact, a 40 watt amplifier and not a 100 watt (continous power) amplifier? Would such an amp be mislabeled under most accepted modern (last 25 years) measurement "standards", at least in the United States?
