No ! ken wants an unadulterated Statement.

By comparison, he knows that DR amps 200/250/300/500 all sound "broken"....

Did the 250DR increase in power, or did I read the specs incorectly?

it is now 92 watts.

Oh I want a statement too, but after hearing the 250 DR, all I can say is "wow", I don't need a statement.

Close to that perfect ratio! 1.74

Linn LK-280: Solid-state stereo power amplifier. Output power: 80Wpc into 8 ohms, 160Wpc into 4 ohms Polarity: non-inverting.2.0

Statement: 

Power Output

746W into 8 ohms, 1450W into 4 ohms, 9kW burst power into 1 ohm  1.94

The magic ratio!

It's important in that it's an indication of a robust power supply (and PS are an expensive part of the amp). 

 

However, please note that doubling is not really possible, for a number of tech reasons. This does NOT mean that manufacturers quoting doubling are fraudulent! 

 

What you do is, officially spec your amp at 8ohms for less than max output, which will allow the arithmetic to hold true to specs. Please note that amps capable of dealing with difficult loads (i.e. low ohm loads) are considered good designs and trustworthy.

Wow the Internet!!!

I Miss my LK 280!!!
