T+A K8 - Blu-Ray / 7 Channel 150 Watt Receiver

It is the powerful heart of an ultra-modern home cinema surround system, equipped with the finest technologies today’s market has to offer. At the same time the K8 is extremely flexible to use; so the dedicated and demanding home cineast will definitely get his money’s worth with the 7.1 features and the excellent BluRay reproduction as will those people for whom 5.1 or 3.1 loudspeaker setups will do, and even two-channel purists will find high-class stereo modes. Since the K8 boasts no less than seven power amplifiers with more than 150 watts continuous output power each and in addition has a very intelligent control concept, it can fill up to three side rooms with independently controlled stereo sound, according to the selected operating mode.T+A has chosen very strong, excellent sounding power amplifiers, so that the ambitious music and video lover can also connect larger, power-hungry loudspeakers and the acoustic supply of large rooms will pose no problems. The high dynamic and level requirements of many BluRay discs are met hands down.
