I found this little nugget of information on the topic:

William, who owns several B-1s and B-2s, has sent this little comment :

"I just did a controlled A-B listening test between the Sony TA-4650, a Yamaha B-2 and a Yamaha B-1.

The B-1 came out on top (at $1600.00 new and being an ALL Fet design, it should have) and the Sony and B-2 were so close. Both use complementary V-fets, so that probably figures. Perhaps the Yamaha units can handle more.

In an Audio Magazine Report, Bascom H. King said that the onset of clipping occured at 220W @ 8 Ohms on the B-1. Thats 46% over spec !"
