I agree in that you should only use about half the output capacity of the original power plant series for best performance as they increasingly sound worse when taxed at or near full current capacity output. Mind you the output stage is just an AB class amplifier and the degradation is subtle but when compared to raw power from the wall, it is still a huge improvement!The original chipsets were notorious for not displaying the correct info vs. output but the 2nd generation of Multiwave chipsets with the servo correction sounded much better and largly fixed the readout issues and balanced power output issues but still had small readout errors and one should measure the output vs. input selections and correct for the margin of errors.
Yes, the new units do not have balanced power output and IMHO, are a step down from the original series in performance but they do offer full 1500 watt output capacity. I had the opportunity to audition a PPP in an associates system and he ended up sending 2 PPP's back as the first one kept blowing his preamp fuses upon power up and with the 2nd unit, it really didn't provide any worthwhile improvement in his rig that we could hear with a properly functioning unit.Cheers
