Amplification Warning

R Meta is the range above Q Meta, and the impedance row is identical: 4 ohms, minimum 3.2. What differs is the distortion row - R5 Meta is specified at <1% above 75 Hz where Q7 Meta is <2% above 35 Hz - so the two ranges are not distinguished by load at all, only by what the load is asked to do cleanly.
