Are the top Onkyo/Integra/Pioneer models Class AB (as per traditional Onkyo practice) or Class D?
I went back to take a look at the previous TOTL model TX-RZ3100.... all it says about the power amps is "Digital Amplifier" - what exactly does that mean? (Class D is not digital!)
I found the Service Manual at
Electronics forum for electronics experts to repair defective appliance.
elektrotanya.com
This is also applicable to its related Integra and Pioneer siblings....
Can someone with more electronics knowhow that I have, take a look at the power amp board schematics and tell me what exactly these are?
They do claim "High current capability" and the specs do include a rating for 3 ohm (although it is a momentary rating, not a continuous one)
It would not be surprising to find this as the power amp for the new TOTL flagship models...
