I guess I'm taking issue with the statement that power ratings "are all considered to be marketing B.S.."

This is a misconception and just simply isn't true.

I can confirm that the audio engineering company that designed the audio system in the arena or stadium near your home would wholeheartedly push back on this statement. Just like a structural engineer would push back at the notion that a steel beam's specifications are "are all considered marketing BS." Professionals are designing complex systems around amplifiers and need to have accurate specifications to design them properly.

While the soundbar+subwoofer combo you bought at BestBuy last Black Friday likely has inflated specifications; it would be wrong to let this very small perspective impact anyone's judgement so greatly to conclude that ALL power ratings are marketing BS.
