Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Headroom notes

45 W + 45 W into 8 ohms across 20 Hz - 20 kHz at 0.07 % THD, both channels driven. The 4 ohm rating of 70 W is measured the AV-receiver way - 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD - so it is not 55 % more amplifier, it is the same amplifier measured more generously. Denon prints both in the same block, which is more than most do.

Thermal behavior

Output terminals rated 4 - 16 ohms, and the connection page repeats it in the same words. One pair of terminals, so there is no A+B parallel trap.
