Bg radia x37/1/2023 ![]() ![]() The excerpt above doesn't say anything about meeting specs at 8 ohms only, it just says it meets the specs, and it lists both. I don't agree that "AH did not seem to have verified the 120Wx5 cont. My measurements in this scenario verified Emotiva’s power claim s but mine were higher in distortion which is likely due to the fact that Emotiva does their power tests holding the line voltage constant whereas we don’t." Not sure there are any unbiased audio publications at this point.Ĭlick to expand.This is a word for word excerpt from the measurement section of the review:Įmotiva doesn't specify at what frequency they rate their power output, but I assume they mean 1kHz which is how most manufacturers specify all channels driven power claims. I needed 120 watts per channel into 4 ohms for this particular application and this amp clearly wasn't delivering it. Im particularly bummed because I bought this amp based largely on this review. These guys are well aware that a 350VA amplifier isn't going to be a be able to put out 120x5 continuous ACD at any frequency or respectable level of distortion. Ive been an Audioholics reader for over a decade, specifically because they seemed unbiased and generally got to the bottom of things and told you how it was but this is clearly not the case anymore. A more realistic 4-ohm 1khz (0.01% THD) figure would probably be around 55-60 watts per channel ACD. Looking at the measurement data provided there is absolutely no indication that this amp will hit "120 watts x 5 continuous 4-ohm (0.01% THD)" at ANY frequency. My measurements in this scenario verified Emotiva’s power claims but mine were higher in distortion which is likely due to the fact that Emotiva does their power tests holding the line voltage constant whereas we don’t." 120 watts x 5 continuous 4-ohm (0.01% THD)Įmotiva doesn't specify at what frequency they rate their power output, but I assume they mean 1kHz which is how most manufacturers specify all channels driven power claims.80 watts x 5 continuous 8-ohm (0.01% THD). ![]()
