I agree, it always amazes me when I go to any local department store and see rows of 1000 watt car subwoofers and 500 watt car amps for 39.95. I had a Sony HT reciever that was rated at something like 165 watts per channel into 3 channels and 50 or so into the rears. And yep, I think that it may have weighed at least 5 pounds, and that may be giving it a few. I remember when I first picked it up, I was amazed that technology had progressed to a point where they could put so much power and sound quality in such a nice light package.
Well, needless to say, I have learned a lot since then. Mainly that my Fisher 500-c practically requires a back brace to pick up, and that suites me just fine.
Needless to say, whatever the power rating of the little Bogen is, it sounds way sweeter than it will ever look, even though the look tends to grow on you.
Keep 'em spinnin'
