That solid state 7200 is equipped with an output transformer (autoformer) and that makes it entirely similar to a tube amp. As a matter of fact, it has output speaker impedance taps. It definitely is not designed to drive speakers with large impedance variations. Also, because of the transformer, it has a rather high output resistance and a low damping factor. Some speakers require an amplifier with a high damping factor which you get with a real solid state amp without an output transformer.
Offering 200 Watts per channel and 14 total inputs, the space-saving MA7200 Integrated Amplifier can easily become the core of your 2-channel home audio system.
