2805 with 6 ohms load, 1kHZ with 0.7%THD?

I'd go by the 1st power rating since that represents a more realistic output across the entire music spectrum, not just at 1 kilohertz.


I have that receiver connected to Klipsch speakers (which tend to be highly efficient). This is enough to create painfully loud, but clean sound. Sorry, but I don't know the efficiency of the Diva's.

i posted the following on another thread...... it applies here as well....

good luck...

The ratings for Denon tell you that probably it will run out of steam if speaker impeadence dips to 4 ohm region. 1KHz rating for most part is a marketing gimmick to show higher output numbers.

here is more good info on receiver power ratings....

cheers!

Thanks guys. So denon is really not willing to tell what the THD is besides of 1KHz. The [email protected] of 2803 is just 75*6 with 8ohms. hopefully 2805 might get to 80*6. The back plate of denon is rated 120V 5.6A.
