I have an A-9050, it's 75 wpc vs the A-9150 65wpc. I have it hooked up to Moth Audio single driver speakers and it runs out of gas pretty quick. A Musical Fidelity M3si has way more guts, the M5si would be even better.
would using the onkyo a9150 with Thiel CS6 speakers be safe?
The onkyo receiver says it has this but it's only 60 watts per channel My krell fpb300cx failed and somebody loaned me this receiver. Onkyo has this description about current.
Customized High-Current Transformer and Custom Audio-Grade Capacitors
Current has great influence on sound quality. High current is required for a better grip on the speaker transducers, improving control and accuracy.
A customized high-output transformer and two huge custom capacitors inside the A-9150 deliver current through discrete output-stage transistors that are kept cool by an aluminum heat sink.
Speakers react instantly, with throw-range precisely controlled for accurate articulation even through dynamic and complex musical passages.
