How much amplifier power do you really need?

A lot of heavy weather seems to be being made of this...
This statement contradict's itself.  Peak power "by definition" is the √2 (which is 1.414) times the RMS power as you say but is NOT twice RMS power as you also say. Calculus proves this, what math are you using?

My statement does not contradict itself; you seem to be confusing power with amplitude. What calculus are you using to derive your (incorrect) conclusion?
