I use the S15 in the MCH system where the power amp is a Bryston 9B. I also have the rest of the system, except for the subwoofer, on the S15 and the read-out indicates anything from about 35-55% of load capacity. The amp does not seem to be limited in any way I can tell subjectively. In fact, the load indicator does not change much in response to a wide dynamic shift. It does change significantly in response to the picture brightness on the plasma.
In the other system, I use it intermittantly only because I feel less of a need for it in this more stable electrical environment.
