Onkyo M-80B Icon Power Amplifier Black 200W at 4 Ohm

ONKYO Icon Power Amplifier. With a three-stage Inverted Darlington Amplifier and great attention paid to vibration suppression, the Onkyo M-80 Power Amplifier powerfully drives large speakers to deliver dynamic full range audio that will captivate and move you.

Features:

Refined Style You Can Feel:
Just as your favourite music resonates on an emotional level, premium design is felt instinctively. Intuitively. The Onkyo Icon Series is meticulously designed for simplicity and balance, blending an elegant form factor with classic hi-fi details. Carefully selected materials and tactile buttons and knobs elevate the user experience to something greater than the sum of its parts.

Superior Sound Starts With Onkyo:
Sophisticated circuitry, elevated design choices, and next-generation tech are woven into every millimetre of Onkyo’s new Icon Series. Our dedicated engineers believe everyone deserves an exceptional listening experience with all the nuance, detail, and emotion that the artists or players intended. The content played through any of our Icon Series products isn’t just heard – it’s felt.

Powering The Music That Moves You:
The M-80 uses a three-stage Inverted Darlington Amplifier. The three-stage Inverted Darlington Amplifier has a very low output impedance and drives speakers powerfully with a large current. Also, by keeping NFB (Negative Feedback) low, it is not affected by noise from the speaker. It offers a powerful yet highly resolving and informative sound. The M-80’s output stage transistors are in parallel configuration, which provides excellent instantaneous current supply capability, further enhancing the rise of sound and the sense of power. The driver stage of the M-80 amplifier uses DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry). Reducing beats generated signals(noise) in the ultra-high frequency band by DIDRC’s high slew rate designand helps produce the natural sound of an analog record.

Cutting Edge Componentry For Captivating Playback:
The Onkyo M-80 Power Amplifier features a custom high-current power supply to provide dynamic full-range sound, and an extrusion aluminium heat sink that suppresses vibration. The addition of high-quality 10000uF capacitors custom-made exclusively for Onkyo, Hi-Fi grade terminals (both speaker output and audio input terminals), copper bus bars, and a robust vibration-proof front panel ensures powerful, world-class playback.

The M-80 housing consists of two aluminium side panels and a steel top panel. The three-piece construction of the housings increases rigidity and improves seismic resistance. Various vibrations are suppressed, and sound quality is improved.

Create your Perfect System:
The M-80 has an output power of 150W (8Ω, 1kHz, THD 0.7%, 2ch driven) / 200W (4Ω, 1kHz, THD 0.7%, 2ch driven), which allows it to powerfully drive large speakers and bring you dynamic acoustic information. For example, Klipsch Forte speakers paired with the P-80 and M-80 would maximise the dynamic and extended sound of the Forte.

From Onkyo Academy: The Benefits Of A Power Amplifier:
A power amplifier receives the signal from your pre-amp and literally powers it into your speakers. Think of your pre-amp as a brain, and your power amplifier as the muscle. Separating your amplifiers into pre- and power gives you ultimate flexibility in audio playback. Since they are not affected by each other’s circuits, they can provide high-resolution sound quality through even cleaner signal transmission. Audiophiles are well-known to prefer specific power amps and the way they impact sound quality and colouration. The M-80 is a power amplifier that reproduces the full range of artists' or players’ intentions in their music and drives you into a world of emotion.
