    Purifi 1ET400A with linear PSU tested to comply with FTC rule

    If an amplifier can produce rated power at 20 Hz and at 20 kHz for 5 minutes, then why would the rated power not be "obtainable at all frequencies"? I don't remember seeing an amplifier produce less power at some random in between frequency.
