i have this amp, no problem with heat ... as long as you have at least 4" up top.

it meets its marketed specs and doubles down at 4ohms

unfortunately re: SQ, i am not a believer of signature sound ... i believe all properly designed amps sound the same.

The reason why I will opt for this over the 1075 is because of space constraints and its already 7 channel.  I don't need to buy a 5 channel and a 2 channel amp anymore... Ok kaya eto i pair with my Dali Ikons?

yes, exactly the same reasons i got this as well.

a 1075 + 1070 is almost as expensive

this one fits nicely in small spaces (as compared to the 1075 and 1070)

heat wise, hindi maluluto ang audio rack mo

-regarding the dali ikon or any speaker - i believe if the amp is stable to any load, it will play ANY speaker with no problem (granted you are within the SPL range of the wattage)

e.g. the front two channels on the 1077 is capable of 125w at 8 ohms, 250w at 4 ohms
the 5 other channels have 100w at 8 ohms and 200w at 4 ohms

as long as you make sure your amp and other equipment is capable, all SQ is 50% speaker and 50% your room acoustics 0% amp 0% cables 0% player 0% preamp

Thanks.  Will study the specs of my speakers muna pala before I buy this power amp..

When playing blu-ray with DTS-MA or Dolby TruHD audio, will these audio formats be outputted as such by any Power amp or kailangan capable ang power amp in decoding these hidef formats as well?  or let the AV Receiver decode these hidef formats and pass in on to the power amp for "amplification"?

the power amps are oblivious as to what you input :)

kahit karaoke pa ipasok mo :)

so to answer your q, yes, any amp can play even the hi def sound formats

me too, i'm very afraid of 110v because i regularly move equipment, baka makalimutan ko and masaksak sa 220v.

I would agree that the room and speakers have greater impact than the other components. Maybe 50% room, 35% speakers and 15% for the rest.

magkasing presyo ata ang 2*1075 sa 1077  ;D
pero kung may space constraints, 1077 will be the solution kasi manipis lang siya...

hindi ko lang alam kung ano ang effect ng 2 1075 on a bi-ampable speaker hehe

i hear the b&o modules used in the 1077 for the front two channels are stable to 2 ohms, though i've never seen third party tests, i'd say that would be a good reason to go 1077 over 1075 - but if i could turn back time, i'd probably get the 1095.

i've tried bi-amping with my 1077.  no audible difference.

also, if you consider that the upper binding posts power the tweeter, which needs about 1-2w ; you'd actually have 100w to the woofers and 2w to the tweeters for a grand total of 102w :)

so kung may 120w per channel into 8ohms ka na amp, mas logical na mag-biwire instead of bi-amp, tama po ba?

it won't hurt, but it won't help either.  :)

but in theory, if bi-amping is inaudible, bi-wiring would be even more inaudible.

buy a bigger amp na lang  ;)

 SQ is 50% speaker and 50% your room acoustics 0% amp 0% cables 0% player 0% preamp

sir eto po claim nyo.....
so you mean given that everything is the same, if i play music from the tuner function of my receiver and i use a cd.... based on your claim they should sound the same?

or to be more specific if i use a branded RCA and compare it with a generic freebie RCA they should sound the same?
