There are 10 PS Audio amplifiers in our database. Below you can see the main specs of these amps.
PS Audio Power Amplifier Series
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 PS Audio PMG S200 is rated at 100 watts RMS into 8-ohms. PS Audio provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of under 0.002% typical, 20Hz to 20kHz at 1W into 8 ohms which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).
Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:
- 100 watts into 8-ohms at under 0.002% typical, 20Hz to 20kHz at 1W into 8 ohms
- 200 watts into 4-ohms

Which speakers suit the PS Audio PMG S200?
100 W into 8 ohms, 200 W into 4.
We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current
delivery.
Need more power?
PS Audio PMG S200 is rated at 100 watts into 8 ohms, which puts it in our 91 to 120 watts band. The next band up is 121 to 180 watts, which is worth about 1.5dB more output. That is a real difference in headroom on peaks, and a modest one in how loud the system plays - power and loudness are not the same thing.
Before buying watts, check what your speakers actually need: the amp and speaker matcher works it out from their sensitivity, impedance and your room. Plenty of systems are better served by the 61 to 90 watts band and better speakers.
When pairing the PS Audio PMG S200 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.
What size of room is the PS Audio PMG S200 Amplifier good for?
An essential deciding factor is the size of the room in which you intend to employ the PS Audio PMG S200 amplifier. Here, taking into account its maximum power parameters, we analyzed its applicability to various size environments:
| Listening Environment |
Suitability |
| Near-field | Poor |
| Small Room | Average |
| Mid-size Room | Good |
| Large Room | Average |
| Very Large Room | Poor |
Inputs and Outputs
Besides the performance specs of the PS Audio PMG S200, the next important feature set that you have to evaluate is the input and output selections that it offers.

Bluetooth Connectivity
PS Audio PMG S200 doesn't have bluetooth connectivity feature. In order to stream your music via bluetooth, the easiest way is to connect an external bluetooth receiver to your PS Audio PMG S200. Two bluetooth receivers that we recommend are the
iFi Zen Blue V2 and the
Audioengine B1.
Among the amps in the same price range, these are the 5 amps that have Bluetooth Connectivity:
Phono Input
PS Audio PMG S200 doesn't have a phono input so in order to play your vinyl albums, PS Audio PMG S200 has to be paired with a Phono Preamp that is MM (Moving Magnet) or/and MC (Moving COil) depending on your cartridge type.
Balanced connections
PS Audio PMG S200 has a balanced XLR input. A balanced cable carries the signal twice, on two conductors of opposite polarity. Interference picked up along the way lands on both equally and cancels when the two are recombined at the far end, so the longer the cable run and the noisier the surroundings, the more the connection is worth. Whether a balanced connection also yields more power depends on how the amplifier is built inside - some are balanced end to end, others convert to single-ended internally and deliver the same power either way, so it is worth reading the maker's own wording rather than assuming.
PS Audio PMG S200 Pros and Cons
Drawn from the published figures on this page, not from listening.
- ✓Power nearly doubles into a harder load, 100 watts into 8 ohms rising to 200 into 4, which points to a power supply with real current in reserve.
- ✓Class A operation, the topology most often chosen where distortion at low levels matters more than efficiency.
- ✓Distortion is specified at 0.002%, an order of magnitude below what is generally held to be audible.
- ✓Balanced XLR inputs, worth having on a long cable run.
- ✓Detachable mains lead (IEC).
- ✗Class A runs hot and draws mains power whether or not it is playing; it needs room to breathe.
- ✗A power amplifier has no volume control and no input selection - it needs a preamplifier, or a source with a variable output, in front of it.
- ✗It weighs 25.5kg - check the shelf, and plan on a second pair of hands.
