The specs from ICEpower.com states:

Nominal Power( 150 Watts )
<0.05% THD+N, 8Ω, 20Hz-20kHz
One channel driven FTC

Nominal Power( 150 Watts )
<0.1% THD+N, 8Ω, 20Hz-20kHz
Two channel driven FTC

Nominal Power( 120 Watts )
<0.1% THD+N, 8Ω, 1kHz
Seven channels driven

Nominal Power( 63 Watts )
<0.1% THD+N, 8Ω, 20Hz-20kHz
Seven channels driven FTC

"The integrated design and compact, low profile form factor of the 150ASH7 open up a world of new design opportunities for home theater audio applications. The overall weight and complexity of the amplifier section is dramatically reduced, mainly by eliminating the massive transformer and the bulky heat sinks normally required by class AB amplifiers.

The efficiency of ICEpower150ASH7 exceeds 90% in both amplifier and power supply sections. This eliminates the notorious heat problems in traditional AV receiver and AV amplifier designs and ensures cool and reliable performance, raising the bar in home theater experience."

63 W/channel, not much better than my SONY STR-DA5300ES power output. I think I'll continue with my plan to get a Emotiva XPA-5.
