Specifications
| Power output | D-100A: 100 Watts per channel minimum RMS (both channels operating) at 8 Ohms from 1 Hz to 20 kHz with less than 0.25% total harmonic distortion. Typically less than .02% at rated power in midband. Approximate actual power available per channel at "clipping" (both ch. op.): 4 ohms 200 Watts, 8 ohms 110 Watts, 16ohms 65 Watts |
