I don't know how well the Logos amp was designed. I see that there is evidence on the web that it incorporates a false claim in its advertising claims, that its 8 ohm power doubles into 4 ohms; http://www.soundstagenetwork.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1347:bhk-labs-measurements-pathos-acoustics-logos-mkii-integrated-amplifier&catid=97:amplifier-measurements&Itemid=154 " Power output Output power at 1% THD+N: 155.0W @ 8 ohms, 237.4W @ 4 ohms (4 ohms power = 142% of 8 ohm power) " In fact its actual 4 ohms performance is about 40% more more than its 8 ohm power, which is fairly typical for power amps, even some fairly inexpensive ones. For example: https://www.soundandvision.com/content/denon-avr-x4200w-av-receiver-review-test-bench Denon AVR-X4200W A/V Receiver Review Test Bench " 0.1% THD Two Channels Continuously Driven, 8-Ohm Loads 124.3 watts Two Channels Continuously Driven, 4-Ohm Loads 215.9 watts " 4 ohm power is 73% more than its 8 ohm power which is actually very good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106914 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
