Watts - Volts and Resistance

Hi,

I got a Fisher 514 Receiver for next to nothing, it's those Quad type of receivers. I haven't been able to get any ''free'' info on the net about it, I would only want to know how mant WPC this monster delivers.
This is what I read in the back of the unit:

535 watts / 675 VA / 4 ohm Max.

Can somebody tell me the max power output with and 8 ohm load ?

Thanks,
foxtrot

El, I agree with your logic but how did you get 133 is 50% of 535?

The 40% of volume is misleading as most receivers of that ilk are going full blast well before the volume control is at 100%. It was a marketing trick to make you think it can play louder than it really can.

Foxtrot, If you are hokking up recievers you may want to see a doctor :>)
