This graph shows that the Savoy's left amplifier channel, with two channels driving 8-ohm loads, reaches 0.1% distortion at 236.5 watts and 1% distortion at 255.3 watts. Into 4 ohms, the amplifier reaches 0.1% distortion at 376.8 watts and 1% distortion at 413.8 watts. An input level of 76.60 millivolts was required to produce an output of 2.83 volts into an 8-ohm load, indicating an overall gain of 31.36 decibels using the RCA input and gain setting A. With gain setting B, the gain was 28.89 dB and with gain setting C, the gain was 26.15 dB. When using the XLR input, a level of 152.50 millivolts was required to produce an output of 2.83 volts into an 8-ohm load, indicating an overall gain of 25.39 decibels with gain setting A. With gain setting B, the gain was 22.96 dB and with gain setting C, the gain was 20.21 dB. THD+N from the amplifier was less than 0.012% at 1 kHz when driving 2.83 volts into an 8-ohm load using the RCA input. When using the XLR input under the same conditions, THD+N was less than 0.013%. Crosstalk at 1 kHz driving 2.83 volts into an 8-ohm load was –90.51 dB left to right and –89.67 dB right to left using the RCA inputs and –90.65 dB left-to-right and –93.90 dB right-to-left using the XLR inputs. The signal-to-noise ratio with 2.83 volts driving an 8-ohm load from 10 Hz to 24 kHz with "A" weighting was –101.42 dBrA using the RCA input and –98.39 using the XLR input.—MJP
