And I'm pretty sure El Cheapo doesn't even care to know the difference.Power and gain are two separate things anyway. Also, different speakers have different sensitivities.
The big trouble is that deliberately non-technical "reviewers" like Randy or Robinson or pseudo-technical reviewers with no clue at all like the (not so) Scientific Audiophile manage to plant totally unjustified doubts into audio beginners' heads. Bullshitty stuff like "100 W class D are not the same as 100 W class AB". As a result it becomes impossible to talk about the grain of truth behind such statements, it can be really frustrating.
