Just a comment on these specs. The 70wpc spec at 4 ohm is what frequency/bandwidth and distortion level? With typical amps for the same parameters I'd probably look to more like 50wpc at 8 ohm too. However it's simply unclear at what distortion level that 70wpc spec is based on, looking at their own chart it may be only at 1khz and more like 50wpc at 1% thd+n.
no way it's 50 watt in 8ohm

50 watt in 4 ohm under 20 watt in 8 ohm

All the infienon 12070 chip based amps are low powered in 8 ohm and okay in 4 ohm

It can get plenty loud for normal listening with 6 ohm nominal speakers...

I guess I was way too optimistic.

They just don't have more or as much power as Denon D-M41 in 8 ohm, 4 ohm is okay especially with 86-88 db or higher sensitive speakers

Used to own a sabaj a20a first version
