And just ask them how much "RMS power you get with a single tone". They will 
tell you
"you can't do that".  "The amp can't handle a single tone it will blow up." "It 
is a
complicated measurement".

Then they will proceed to tell you about "peak music power", the "new way to 
rate
amplifiers". It has no relationship to anything! But it has bigger numbers.
