I brought this up in another earlier thread, but didn't have Marks wisdom to draw on ...

1/2 PV isn't very good is it? (ignoring all other factors auch as temp/flex etc). At best that will be ok, but as has already been mentioned - useful for low power only.

I haven't quite got to grips with RMS - I still understand PV better - my mirror making was rather unscientific however!!
