Besides haveing lots of punch a 75 minimum rms into 8 ohms it will not drop power with 6 0r 4 ohms. With 6 decrete channels of sound it shines
Would say it has the got lots of reviews from critics as the best buy of the yr 4 the buck in an audiophile mag when i seen it in the pawn shop 3 months after it had come out i grabed it it has meet all my needs and i loved it till i bought a newer more powerful yamaha 5 yrs later I still say it is the most advanced peice of audio of its day and although a few years later they have added more sound fields and a few more inputs this 1 is plenty good enough 4 the averege home!
