The idea keeps coming up that surround channels need "less power" than the front LCR, because
(1) The average power is less --> I say this is irrelevant because it is actually the PEAK levels that clip the amps
(2) All the channels never peak at the same time. Many say no, some including me say they surely do sometimes. Never any EVIDENCE except for one movie mixer who once posted yes they surely do.
Is anyone set up to be able to MEASURE this for scenes like when the semi is crashing everything along a street in Terminator 2 and similar?!? It would be wonderful to have actual DATA posted.
