Hello!
About half a year ago I bought Onkyo TX-8220 stereo receiver (275 eur).
Then I realized I should have bought an amplifier.
Amplifier will be without radio, bluetooth, digital inputs and DAC,
but they only add price, tempt for compromises in quality and yes -
I don't even want them!
Therefore I have set my eye on this Onkyo integrated amplifier: A-9030 (299 eur).
But the spec sheets are hard for me to understand.
I ask for advice, will it be step forward worthy of mention?
Here is some more information:
The biggest difference I notice is with THD, but it is also presented differently:
TX8220 - 100 W/Ch Stereo Power (6 Ω, 1 kHz, 10%, 1 Channel Driven, IEC), 0.08% (20 Hz-20 kHz, half power)
A-9030 - 65 W/Ch (8 Ω, 1 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 Channels Driven, IEC), 0.08% (1 kHz, 1 W)
I do realize it would be correct to display values for 20-20000 Hz, but why they use such
mess, god only knows. To me these stats are basically incomprehensible, it may be my own fault, of course.
I use Elac Debut B6.2 speakers in a medium listening space.
Here's a full product comparison from Onkyo home page.
