I plan to measure mine for RMS (not Music Power Output, or sometimes called PMPO) this weekend using a 1kHz computer generated test tone fed through the line in and metered at the output channels.

They are very nice but not as bassy as you would expect them to be by design. It and it's predecessor, the RX-C100 are worlds apart.
