The Accuphase e650 specs 30 watt class A at 8 ohms
60 watts at 4 ohms
120 watts at 2 ohms.
The Marantz is (claims) 300 watts at 8 ohms
600 watts at 4 ohms
No specs given for 2 ohms.
But what can you surmise from these listed specs ?
The Luxman could very well be single digit watts into 2 ohms yet it sounds very good to sfmorris.
The Parasound Halo amplifier George recommended earlier is readily available and reasonable cost ( And probably can be gotten with a return clause).
Curious how the Parasound Halo with ample current (per George) would fare against the Luxman head to head driving the Sony's. All that matters is which would sound better to sfmorris. Superior sound is the pertinent objective.
