Interesting, I have not heard anyone mention power transistors causing a higher voltage drop when the current is increased. Do you think this is the main cause of power limiting?

The size of the capacitor bank should only apply to peak power. In continuous power, having more energy storage does not help as far as I know. You just need enough capacitance to handle their job as filter caps. My receiver has two 18,000 uf caps, which you would think would not limit...

If you have ever seen the benchmark of an audio video receiver, you will see how the power drops off as more channels are driven at the same time. For example, a benchmark done on my receiver, the Yamaha RX-V3900 showed 189 watts into one channel, and only 88 watts into seven channels. Is...
