What does Current mean in a power amp???

In defense of the Bryston
Stereophile measured a Bryston 9B-SST (THX at the time) and said it had no problem delivering it’s rated 120 wpc with all five channels driven. I’m mentioning this amp because it was the only Bryston review on Stereophile’s web site. Say what you will about the musicality of Bryston products but I’ve read anyone complain that they did not meet their rated power.

Correction...
That last sentence was supposed to read, "...I've never read anyone complaining that..."
Sorry for the grammar error.

PS the Plinius SA100 look cool. How does this compare to other amps in it’s price range (~$5000)

Nikki, Brystons arn't bad at all as a budget amps having a huge 20Yr transferable warranty but I heard from many people that they can't drive the speakers that have impedance falls lower than 4Ohms -- they start to clip.

~~~~Seandtaylor99's first post sums it up best as Zaikesman concurs.

A chart of component synergy, preamps / amps / speakers, actually used by members, good results/bad results. Perhaps a starting point for all who wish to try different combinations and avoid proven mismatches. Would need a volunteer to do the spread sheet/chart. Audiogon could have this as a free access page (members only)? Updated regularly as combinations are tried. Anyone care to comment on this idea?

Plinius SA100 IMO is a champ.
