So you "heard" it. And to measure the power ?
If you are going to mess with this stuff maybe you should look in to a cheap used analog scope. A 20MHz is cheap these days. Just put into eBay oscilloscope and then sort by price, lowest first, you will have to get through the parts and the units for parts, but maybe $150 you get a good enough one - as long as it works.
The reason for my skepticism is that I have never seen an amp of any kind of quality clip before it met the rated power output. Usually they clip higher, because for the lower distortion rating they took a lower power rating.
Sometimes you could get the specs. It is called clipping headroom and expressed in dB. Another one is dynamic headroom which is the difference between what it can put out short term with the filters ice and charged, versus what they will do steady state, also expressed in dB.
It is just the unusual nature of your problem there that makes me question.
