Is the 50 Watts (RMS) at Both Channels Driven at 8 Ohms with less than 0.1% distortion?

If so what is the power rating (RMS) into 4 ohms?

Exactly and thanks. The power rating of 50 watts is at 4 Ohms, half of that at 8.

PS: Scott tells me the Sprout puts out about 33 watts into 8 Ohms (which is what I anticipated from my research on Class D amps).
