Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers

Can you please expand on what this receiver does that makes it a great value or sounding unit?? I never thought Panasonic was even considered mid-hi-fi??? I know some of this stuff is starting to sound ok particular when considering how little it costs.

Red2, the new Panasonic units are supposed to sound great when using the digital inputs, but just average when using the analog inputs. Since I have several digital devices and a limited budget, this is my first choice of receiver, provided it is compatible with my new speakers.

I'm using the SAXR45 with the GMA Europas with no problems. Sounds excellent hooked up digitally with a Panny 963sa upsampled. You will have no problems

I have used the Panasonic on GMA Europas and my Magnepan 2.5Rs. I've ran it 4 weeks straight without turning off the Panasonic on my Maggies. There are a couple guys that post on Audioasylum that use the Panny with B&W 801s another uses Von Schweikert 4.5se.I seriously doubt you will have any problems. It's quite a bit tougher than what it looks.Word of advice ...pair your cd/dvd player with a power conditioner. Something that uses an isolation transformer like the Powervars would be great. It makes one hella of difference.The Panny is very sensitive to the bits it recieves from the cd player.The cleaner the bits the better IME. You can get a Powervar 2.0 to 5.0 on Ebay .They normally sell between $30.00 and $50.00.Any of these would be more than adequate for a cd player.These conditioners IMO out perform or match some of the high dollar audiophile conditioners.

Good Luck!

Thanks, Gmood1. Would replacing the power cords on the Panasonic and cdp have the same effect as using a Powervar or OneAC unit? New PCs from SignalCable or Bolder would actually cost more than the prices you quoted, but I am curious as to the effects of a PC versus a conditioner.
