350W into 8, 700 into 4, shipping weight 145 lbs.
Do you really need anything like all that power for the Yamahas?
Someone posted the impedance curve measurement for them in one of your other threads, but I can't find it now.
Pass choice: INT250 vs X350.8 + He9
Hey guys so trying to decide between a used INT250 or demo X350.8. INT has 2 year warranty left and X350.8 has 3 year full warranty. INT is from USA to Canada and X350.8 is local so won't have to ship out if something goes wrong. Preamp is Audio GD HE9. If I do 350.8 I will not upgrade my preamp for 1 year. Speakers NS5000.
Now I know at first it seems obvious INT250 is the choice. But because of taxes and border fees it comes to $11k CAD and X350.8 comes to $15k CAD. I am leaning 350.8 for the horsepower (which may drive bigger speaker in the future) and local dealer support and due to the not massive difference in price. But I recognize the Preamp in the INT250 is maybe better than the HE9 (although HE9 is very well regarded).
Any thoughts?
