Replacing Old Components With Less Old One
I've added the NAD C320 BEE to my list & found impressive reviews.
Apparently the PM7200 has been superceded by the PM7001. Rather than
searching for a particular model, it's probably better to go to the
makers' Websites to see their current models, specs., etc.
Question: Why is it possible for a less powerful amp. to have better
sound than a more powerful one? Reading a review of the PM7200, I ran
across the comment that it has a switch to reduce power to 25
watts/channel, and by reducing to 25 watts, the sound improved. I
always thought the more power, the better. I suppose it has a lot to do
with speaker sizes & resistance, altho most speakers rate at 8 ohms.
I'm pretty naive the technicals, & Sander, No, I can't upgrade the
1060 myself, altho I appreciate your taking the time to tell me how to
do it. Maybe you've helped someone else, anyway.
