Its funny, I started out as a big Sony fanboy when I was a kid, now I'm a bit skeptical bout them :P

Well the power ratings on most of the $500 and below receivers are all exaggerated now-a-days. Look at the Yamaha 665 it runs 42 wpc and listed at 90 wpc, the Pioneer 1019/919 is bench testing at 28 wpc and listed at 120 wpc.

Don't be fooled, they all have suffered power loss and still lay claim to higher output.
