Onkyo High Current Stereo Receiver Model: TX-8255 UPC: 751398008306
Description: If you want your receiver to focus purely on two-channel audio, this Onkyo Receiver could be just the answer. It's perfect for your living room, or anywhere else you like to sit back and soak up your music.
Minimize
50 watts per channel, min RMS, at 8 ohms, two channels driven from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with no more than 0.08% THD
105 watts per channel at 4 ohms dynamic power
WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology) - This receiver incorporates WRAT, an amalgam of Onkyo technologies that ensure optimal audio performance
Low negative-feedback design to handle program peaks - Negative feedback (NFB) is a cheap way of reducing noise at lower frequencies but it comes with a couple of drawbacks
For a start, NFB inhibits the amplifier's ability to respond to large signal gains, such as orchestral crescendos. And secondly, NFB interferes with the reproduction of high frequencies
To counter these problems, the receiver uses minimal negative feedback and incorporates audiophile-grade, close-tolerance components at critical points in the signal path
This helps it to achieve a frequency response out to 100 kHz for high-resolution audio and standard-definition music sources
Closed-ground loop circuits to minimize distortion at high volumes. In an open-loop circuit design, where all circuits are connected to the power supply via a single loop (as on many amplifiers), noise increases cumulatively
This receiver deals with the issue by using a closed-circuit design in which each circuit has its own separate loop connecting it to the power supply. This prevents the compounding of circuit noise, thus keeping the ground potential fee of distortion
High instantaneous-current capability for more dynamic audio - When an amplifier outputs an audio signal, speaker absorbs energy, reflexes and sends energy back to the amplifier, which must cancel this energy and be ready to send out the next signal
To perform this successfully, an amplifier requires a high instantaneous-current capability. The same capability is needed to handle speaker impedance fluctuations, which can force an amplifier to provide four to six times its usual current load
This receiver has been designed to ensure audio output remains unaffected by power limitations
High-current, low-impedance drive - A receiver's ability to deliver increased power output into low impedances is a vital element in its overall performance. If the current flow to your loudspeakers is inconsistent, audio output will be compromised
Thanks to its discrete output stage and highly capable power transformer, this receiver can drive any number of speakers
Speaker playback and remote control for another room - With speaker A/B selectors and dedicated speaker terminals, this receiver can be set up to send audio to a second room
Features IR connectivity so you can still control it even if it is concealed inside a cabinet or if you're in the adjoining room (where the second set of speakers are placed)
This operation requires purchase of a multi-room distribution and control system, such as one provided by Niles or Xantech
iPod compatibility via Onkyo's RI (Remote Interactive) system - RI capability enables you to connect other Onkyo components to this receiver and operate them all via a single remote controller
