The LM4950 is rated at 3.1W per channel to a 4 Ohm
load with 1% THD+N.
The spec sheet shows THD increasing significantly once
output goes above about 2.3W into 4 Ohms, above about
1.8 Watts into 8 Ohms and above about 900 mW into 16
Ohms at 12V. THD is below 0.03% until the "knee" is
reached. Increasing Vdd from 12 to 13.5V increases the
available output by about 25% based on the charts
included in the data sheet.
