There is no channel A and channel B they are the same, it is speakers A and speakers B for connecting 2 pairs of speakers and buttons on the front to select. I don't think you understand the information you are getting and I don't know where you are getting the 105/115 watts. I see dynamic/short term power as 105,125,150,178 - 8,6,4,2 ohms. From the owners manual Minimum RMS output power (20Hz to 20kHz, 0.04% THO, 8 0) ....................... 80 W + 80 W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82 Cornwalls Posted December 5, 2024 Share Posted December 5, 2024 @The Audiophiiliac You are referring to setting the speaker impedance through the setup menu? Leave it at the default setting of 8 ohms, read below for why. https://www.audioholics.com/audio-amplifier/impedance-selector-switch-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A and B have the exact same output because it is a 2 channel amplifier (it does not have 4 channels of amplification), A and B are wired in parallel when both are activated through the buttons on the front. Don't get caught up in minor differences in wattage numbers because they are not what they appear to a novice. It takes 10 TIMES the power to be twice as loud; 2 times the wattage is a barely noticable 3 dB increase. 1 watt - 10 watts - 100 watts - 1,000 watts - doubles the loudness (10 dBs). 1 watt - 2 watts = 100 watts - 200 watts - 3 dBs louder in both cases.

jeremyk41 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hello 👋 I see that the RMS on the rp 600m ii says 100watts... I've got a Onkyo RZ-70. Is it too much for these speakers? I don't want to f them up, should I not use anything above 100watts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
