the manual says how efficient they are? I thought that was on the birthsheet...

I got 2 new ones in the box but they are sealed...

thanks for the manual link...I need it anyhow....at the time I posted this I could barely type...I had taken some tylenol pm and I was drowsy and couldnt focus ...haha

D'oh!

The manual only states that the Class D Xenon are 80% efficient. I can't find the efficiency for the Class A/B Xenons in the manual.

Maybe it's the RSd manual that states the efficiency of the A/Bs...

yep..I read the manual....wonder why they dont say anything about a/b ...


I guess I can open the 2 amps I have and see what they rated them at and take that as an averatge...

thanks

I can look at my manual on my x200.4 when I get home if you can wait until then

IIRC the a/b's real lab results were in the 58% range.

Doesn't say anything about efficiency on the birth certificate...

Mine looks the same, except a few less watts.

Same overall efficiency as any other Class D or A/B amp on the market.
