Thank you guys.
From memory i believe it gives 6x110w,or 2x240w in stereo mode. But certainly sounds much louder than those figures would suggest. These big Onkyo recievers from the early 90's are great value,would have been a fortune new then,and of course they were made in Japan,not china. You can pick a high-end one up for between £50 and £100 on ebay, whereas a top-of-the-range 70's amp,like a Pioneer or Marantz are now upwards of a thousand quid. So grab a bargain whilst you still can. Remember, heavier the better. |

Be seeing you.

^^^That's a bloody beast! I can just imagine all the wires hanging out the back if it was used to full potential.

I have one of those big old Onkyo amps here,about early1990's vintage. Weighs like an elephant,25kgs,has 3 transformers inside. As said above,they have a fair bit of poke too.

An old mate found one of those Onkyo amps on the pavement outside a pub that was being refurbished once, it was soaking wet but he stuck it in the airing cupboard for a few days and it worked perfectly after, It seemed to have a bit of grunt about it to be fair. And I'm listening to an ancient class A Technics amp now, sounds lovely....

Class A / AB sounds the best! Nevermind that it's caning your electric bill even when there no tunes playing. |

That's the truth. Mine always ran hot even when idling. Probably not good for the lifespan to be trapping all that heat in there.

It is a 616, the panel is on a wall bracket, I need to move them to the AV rack in teh loft but, on my to-do list...
I only have 6 zones, but it is a bit of a mess the way it evolved, I just never seem to get time to tidy it all up... |

Unracked, simply stacked with a tv directly on top?
You must be a bachelor, or have a very forgiving girlfriend. Why so many soundwebs? Do you have a speaker in every corner of every room? And here i was thinking a 3-way active setup with 1 dcx was overkill for hifi... |

Best regards,
