I just returned from the lab.

Both were tested with 500Mv input and reasonable distortion levels .05-.2

The Yamaha 5560 tested with 6-channel stereo at 15volts =
28 watts/ch.

The Pioneer 811s tested with 6-channel stereo 25volts =
78 watts/ch. The distortion level increased rapidly, if the volume was increased past -6 on the dial with 0 being the maximum. I think this is a level that is to lound to listen to?


I hope this info is helpful, I am not a technical person, so I can not answer detailed questions.

Those that own the 811s, what level on the volume control do you listen? However, the problem I think is when the sound effects kick in, what is that level equel to on the control?
