The advertised technical specifications of the product should be immediately ammended to represent the actual capabilities of the amplifier. All purchasers should be advised/contacted with an offer of remedy.
Bob Carver was around in 1974 when the FTC mandated Amplifier Rule brought all manufacturers kicking and screaming to the honesty table. US manufacturers and consumers benefited for many decades.
And for the record, the Amplifier Rule is still in force, albeit watered down a little, but not in repsect of the advertised power output. The shortfall in actual, versus advertised power into the various specified loads with this particular product, is shameful.
