Thanks, that makes more sense.Originally Posted by Firebottle
I totally agree with this statement
@Sansiiro, apologies for implying (or rather stating) that the 0.08% applies at 65W, that was my error.
The 1KHz specification is usually stated as a 'common reference' and at 1W to establish a base line distortion figure.
Being the same manufacturer the circuit design is almost certainly very similar, with a greater supply voltage in the receiver to enable 100W into 6 ohms.
I also hope the power difference is not so big, since while the receiver is 100W for 6 ohm,
the amp is 65W for 8 ohm, which again makes a bit more for 6 ohm!
Lawrence, I agree with your sentiment, for Onkyos defense I can say the TX 8220 is a stereo receiver.
Having heard no-one to see big difference I might opt for 100 eur more and a NAD C316BEE V2.
The problem, it only sports 45 W, which might not work with elac debut B6, which only have 87db sensitivity.
My room is about 28 m2. I also have heard that this 45W is somewhat modestly rated, meaning that it might
well sound a lot more. Hopefully I get a chance to listen to it at local Hi-Fi store, though for now they said
they can not offer me that opportunity.
So any thoughts on this NAD celebrity (?) would be highly welcome!
