So here's a naive question, in terms of power supplied and the resulting
noticeable effects on audio, what does the 70lb LPA-1 have that a wimpy 40lb AVR like the Denon 3808 does not?
The 3808 is spec'd at 130x7 into 8 ohms (they don't list the specs into 4 ohms though... anyone know?)
The LPA-1 is 125x5 and 50x2 into 8 ohms or 210x5 + 95x2 into 4 ohms.
I'm guessing measured distortion in a dedicated amp has lower ratings... is it so much to be noticeable by the average ear? Are there other differences? (other than a noticeably hotter A/V closet?!)
I'm not trying to start a firestorm here... I've recently started looking more into dedicated amps and am truly curious about the question above.
Thanks,
Jason
