Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Headroom Notes

70 W into 8 ohms over the full band at 0.07 % THD is the comparable number. The 140 W into 4 ohms is measured at 1 kHz with ten times the distortion allowance; it is not twice the amplifier, it is a different test.

Thermal Behavior

4 - 16 ohms on speakers A or B, 8 - 16 ohms with A and B together. The bi-wiring connection counts as one set and stays at 4 - 16 ohms.
