20W per channel at 10% distortion is pretty bad. The $350 powered speaker mentioned elsewhere in this subthread claims < 0.05% amplifier THD at 100W total power, and total distortion including the speaker of < 0.5% at 85dB SPL, which is an uncomfortably loud output.

On another line of the spec sheet I linked to, they say:

> 12W+12W (1kHz, 0.9%, T.H.D 6ohnm)

Which isn’t terrible. I have no idea how to read these spec sheets.
