I'm sure some kind German AVS member can do a better job at summarizing the review - but here's Babelfish's take:
The layman is astonished: "which is to produce, with its specially-flat plastic face and only 4.6 kilograms lebendgewicht the 400-Euro-Panasonic summa summarum more than 700 Watts?"
And the specialist is surprised: Why did Panasonic engineers, only because they enriched the predecessor SA XR 50 (7/04) around an output amplifier (together with tidy clamps for all boxes), insert a complete second six-channel equal digital Amp processor named TAS 5076 (details on page 20)?
That the SA XR 55, which snaps clocking digital signals not only with 96 kilohertz, but also twice as without any similar intermediate stage process directly can does not squint after twelve channels. It goennte itself the large IC doubling rather, in order to increase the connection flexibility. Speak, it is able, while it lets the two processors march accurately in the equal step, to synchronize ever two amplifier courses so exactly the fact that it it - while otherwise dangerous balance stream threaten - to join in parallel can.
Distorted to absolutely welcome but from sound-conscious: In the case of 5.1 rendition assigns the baking amplifiers to the SA XR 55 fully automatic the front Amps as support. With stereo it permits besides via b-Boxenklemmen Bi-Wiring. Then two output stages Bassund third the elevator chassis preparatory work.
The parallel operation promotes now completely crucially the current power. Not necessarily over longer phases, there the power pack well-being limits however with short violent impulses, which the SA XR 55 undoubtedly more energetically than its predecessor can pull through.
During the two or five-channel rendition the Panasonic pleased completely atypical, nearly already highendigen fine design immediately not only with particularly full of seeds, fresh and alive tones, but also with one for 400-Euro-Multikanaler. Madly, like sensitively it voices, brilliantly, as it transferred flashing piano runs. And if some listeners wished still more bass abundance, Panasonic can parieren: More sound gibt's in this class with distance not.
