Sony TA-N9000ES versus Sony TA-N80ES

Hi,

I have a TA-N80ES amp and considering the TA-N9000ES amp. The specs are rated the same 200 wpc at 8 ohms when the N9000ES is run in BTL 2 channel mode, but the N9000ES manual has no power specs at 4 ohms. The THD% is better for the N80ES. So on paper the N80ES should be better. Has anyone listed to both amps and if so what were your impressions?

TIA,
Tom

Nice! Sony ES gear.


I haven’t but sending their support an email regarding both units may be something you want to try. Better specs and measurements don’t always translate to better performance in practice.

If you do, ask specific questions. I’m sure you’ll choose the right one.
