Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Vintage gear usable Power Output

Jurb, I have a lot of experience and also know parts. In the Onkyo, the transformer size can support a 60 watt RMS per channel amp. The output transistors are rated 80 watts. The capacitors were increased from 8000uF to 18000uF. The power supply has a lot of capacity and can support short term current peaks.

The Onkyo did clip on bass notes about 3/4 power. Turn the bass down and it does not clip. Same for my Pioneer SX-1000TW. Power transformer in the 50 watts RMS per channel Pioneer is a little smaller vs the Onkyo.

The bass was set at midrange, but had some boost with the loudness switch engaged on both receivers.

So, I stand by my post.
