Other auctions in this category offer "peak" wattage ratings anywhere
from 150 to 800 Watts with otherwise similar verbiage. Does anybody
know if this is legal? Does the FTC not require an RMS rating according
to a particular test procedure?

Of course I would never suggest that this amplifier is not accurately
rated -- my question only goes to what is required in the US in order
to advertise an amplifier.
