make up standards.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>Don't know about universal but good manufacturers already quote their wattage with the IHF standards as well as DIN.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I thought Yamaha rates power consumption based on each channel drive at 1/6th power as per UL, thus how their receivers only appear to draw very little power despite their much higher output capabilities.

BTW, unless otherwise stated, I wouldn't assume an amp vendors power output specs are for all channels driven simultaneously.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>As per the specs listed on the manual of my Yamaha MX-1 power amp as well as my DSP-AZ1 amp, it is IHF and DIN. You also get continuous rating at 8ohm, 4ohm and 2ohm as well as dynamic.</font>
