| nwilliams98's Full Review: Technics SA-AX6 Receiver |
6 channels at 100 Watts a piece? This is absolutely unheard of. Most amps only come with 5 channels so you have to buy a powered subwoofer. Since you can get this package for $399, the option of powering a subwoofer is an unbeatable deal. The variable low pass filter (dial that selects signal limit) on the amplifier is very convenient for fine tuning the LFE (low frequency effects channel)for your unpowered sub.
The THD (total harmonic distortion) on this amplifier is really impressive. I have seen multi thousand dollar denon recievers with worse numbers.
The amp is easy to use and has plenty of upgradability built in. Supposing that DVD's ever start being processed in 7 channels instead of 6 like ,lucas is proposing with Digital-ex, this amplifier will not be absolute. One would simply eliminate the LFE control and make that channel the rear center surround. I know of now other amplifier that is ready for this. Unlike other "recievers" this amp and pre-amp combo allows a 6 channel input that would be perfect for upgrading.
