This is per channel with both channels driven, so in many cases the available power is even more.
118watts @ 8ohms
183 into 4ohms and fully 2ohm stable.(really good)
With higher THD allowed for (1%THD, dynamic power) it reached 240watts into 4ohms.
This is what you want as generally speakers have lower impedances in the bass and midbass region and in that frequency range music and movies have a lot of energy.
Cheaper amps will not have this type of power ratio and will sound thinner and less powerful in the bass and midbass.
This is a very good amp, it can handle even hard to drive speakers(ones that dip down to 2ohms) and not loose very much dynamic range at all.
I've heard nothing but good things about this amps power ability.
The one downside for some use cases is that it has sub out but no bass management. Bass management is very important to allow the amp to remove the bass from the mains and divert it only to the subwoofer. This is a flaw in the design that can be worked with but really in 2024 this should absolutely have that feature. Some buyers should pass simply because it does not and so other options are better for their set-ups.

It has a subwoofer line output for connecting an active sub but no way to 'high pass'/remove the low bass from the the L & R channels.
The main channels will always get a full range signal. This is not great.
