NEAR 6XL Amplifier

This graph shows the 6XL’s left amplifier channel, with two channels driving 8-ohm loads. Note that, despite the relatively low output where the amp entered into 0.1% distortion, it hugged that line closely right up to nearly full output. Full details available at soundandvision.com.—MJP
