288 watts is 2.6 dB above 160 watts (if I pushed the right buttons on the virtual calculator). Probably about right for 1 kHz for an FTC-rated "160 watt" amplifier, I would think.
I would also think that looking at the THD (either as such or via a spectrum analyzer display for the harmonic component levels) would be a better measurement of the onset of clipping than eyeballing a sine wave(?).
