With the graph it looks real good on paper. This is the curve that sold me with Axiom speakers. But, believe me, when you have the 80s in the room and play demo loud you will find out the what 80s can lead into distortion. It does dip a lot lower than that. Before the external amp. My denon never clip. Right now I am listening with my friend. He is new in HT audiophile world and listening to my system as I typing. It did clips twice now. We played Snoopdog, alicia key, Jay Z...anything with heavy bass it will distort. Plus, I have my neighbor brought his Polk LSi 15 (4ohms) and we are doing A/B right now...into 5 mins. Polk is doing OK. I am stuck with the 80s. They do sound very dynamic with EMOTIVA AMP...I am looking into other amp right too power my 80s.
