Can someone point me in the right direction? LP player / Preamp / Dragonfly Red...
A-9050 specs: 8 ohm 2 x 75 W/Ch 4 ohm 2 x 65 W/Ch How can that be?? A-9010 specs: 8 ohm 2 x 44 W/Ch 4 ohm 2 x 60 W/Ch (these specs are direct form Onkyo USA site) https://www.onkyousa.com/Products/prod_class.php?class=Amplifier&source=globalnav |
TBH, in the world of amplifiers, that is a negligible difference in power between the 2 models. We've established that your Kappa's are basically a 4 ohm speaker, so we are not interested in the 8 ohm spec of 75 wpc. The speakers will be drawing higher current from the amp which relates to the 4 ohm spec. So the 9010 is rated at 60wpc and the 9050 is 65wpc, they are basically the same power, even at 8 ohms. The difference between them is extra features on the 9050. |
I agree. Anyone know of a higher power Amp in the 400-500 range that is of some descent quality? I don't need a Receiver, just an Integrated Amp, or a 2 Channel Amp. And isn't it strange though on the A-9050 that the 8 ohm rating is higher than the 4 ohm rating? Shouldn't that be the other way around? |
