POWER OUTPUT
70 watts continuous from 20Hz to 20kHz. 1kHz total harmonic distortion typically 1% at 140 watts (33 watts in Triode mode) per channel, below 0.04% at 1 watt (Note that actual power output is dependent upon both line voltage and “condition” ie: if power line has high distortion, maximum power will be affected adversely, although from a listening standpoint this is not critical)
POWER BANDWIDTH
(-3dB points) 7Hz to 68kHz

(-3dB points at 1 watt) 0.7Hz to 94kHz
INPUT SENSITIVITY
