Aiwa SA-P22 Mini Component Power Amplifier, 80 Watt, Excellent+ Condition

Description

This Aiwa SA-P-22 mini component power amplifier is in excellent condition. It features a toroidal core power transformer and two 10,000uF/35 Volt filter capacitors totaling 20,000uF at B voltages of +- 34.6 Volts, at idle. Massive external heat-sinking of the four discreet bipolar output devices allows for very cool operation, even with difficult loads. The SA-P22 front panel includes LED power indicators, a power switch, A-B speaker switches and a headphone jack. The rear apron has 8 push-type speaker terminals, 2 RCA input jacks and a 110-220 Volt selector switch. The unit measures 9.5" x 8.8" x 2.8" and weighs in at 8.6lb, unboxed (approx. 11lb, boxed appropriately). I will include an RMS clipping power chart from my own tests. Into an 8Ω non-inductive test load, better than 40.6 Watts per channel are available from 20Hz-15kHz, with both channels driven. Into a 4
Ω
load, under the same conditions better than 47 Watts per channel are available. The power output ratings are obviously quite conservative.
Cosmetically, the amp is very nice, with few signs of use. I bought this unit about 5 years ago, and have used it occasionally, as a part of my large collection of vintage solid-state audio components.
