The SA-XR59 achieves superb reproduction by making it possible for
two amps to drive ordinary (non-biwired) speakers connected via a
single speaker cable. Conventional multi-channel amps use only one
amp per speaker in 2-channel playback, and the surround channel
amp is not used at all. But in the SA-XR59, Panasonic has applied
original technology that takes full advantage of the characteristics of
digital amps, completely synchronising the two amps in parallel so
that they can drive a single speaker using the ordinary connection
method. This capitalises on the outstanding response of the digital
amp, while the double drive power adds richness and depth. The
dual amp drive system automatically activates for 2-channel sources
and then resumes ordinary drive for multi-channel sources. There is
no need to change speaker cables to match the source.

Triple Amp Bi-Amp/Bi-Wiring Drive
Triple Amp with Bi-Amp/Bi-Wiring Drive
When using bi-wired
speakers with the SA-XR59,
each speaker is driven by
three amps for even higher
sound quality. This bi-amp
system drives the treble
range with a single amp and
the bass range with dual
amps, using a total of six
amps for high stereo fidelity.
Wide Frequency Range, Wide Power Bandwidth
Panasonic digital amplifiers boast a high frequency
response up to 88 kHz and a wide power bandwidth with
low distortion. And they drive the entire frequency range -
something analogue
amplifiers cannot do. The
results are amplifiers that
clearly reproduce even
high-frequency sound
components 20 kHz and
above, and unleash the
remarkable sound
potential of DVD-Audio
and other advanced
sources.
5.1ch with Dual Amp Drive (Advanced Dual Amp)
The SA-XR59 also uses its dual amp drive system to drive the
left and right front speakers in 5.1ch playback mode. This
enhances realism and ambience in movie soundtracks by
delivering high-quality sound from the left and right front
channels that play such an important role in reproducing movie
sound effects and background music.
