Really, a Bose amp? People are still getting tricked by Bose.
Does anyone have any additional info on this, please? I wasn't aware that the quality of Bose products had become questionable.

So this makes me look into a little more the specs. Its says 240W consumption, but 125W continuous average?? Hmm, dont know any elec. can be over 100% efficiency!

A napkin calculation, 240W using class-AB max 50% eff. (class-D is 80-90% but...another can of worms), that's 120W max or 60W per channel. Given some losses incur in AC-DC conversion, circuitry, probably not anywhere close to 60w/ch RMS. 60W could be a whole heck of power (ask the tube guys and First Watt aficio.!), but would need good/high efficient speakers; on those KEFs, the volume would be too low.

It's 2023, people still buy Bose?
A couple less, but yeah, tons:

Headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts, United States of America, they are global leaders in audio equipment manufacturing. They have an extensive product line from personal audio equipment, home audio system, automobile infotainment, and professional audio equipment.
