Performance Specs

One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements.The Devialet Expert 220 Pro is rated at 165 watts RMS into 8-ohms. Devialet provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of 0.0005% which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).

Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:

  • 165 watts into 8-ohms (20-20k) at 0.0005%
  • 220 watts into 6-ohms
  • 130dB Signal to Noise Ratio

When pairing the Devialet Expert 220 Pro with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels. Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.
