1.Power output: 125 watts from 17 Hz to 32 KHz at less than 1% THD  into 4 Ohms  125 watts from 30 Hz to 15 KHz at no more than 1.5 % THD into 4Oh
2.Triode Mode: 65 watts in triode mode.                                                                         No
3.Frequency Resp: 10 Hz to 35 KHz +/- .1 dB at 1 watt                                                20 Hz to 20 kHz, +/- .25 dB at 10 watts
4.Power bandwidth: 17 Hz to 37 KHz +/- .3 dB at 125 watts                                               N/A
5.Sensitivity: 1 volt in for 125 watts out                                                                             0.9v to rated power
6.Feedback:               10 db                                                                                           N/A
7.Damping Factor: 14                                                                                                           N/A
8.Input Impedance: 270,000 ohms                                                                               100,000 ohms
9.Hum & Noise: > 95 dB below 125 watt output                                                             102 dB below rated power
10.Inver Phase : No                                                                                                         N/A
11.Tubes: 4 X KT88, 6550, KT90, KT120 output tubes, 2 X 12BH7                                       1 x M8080, 1 x 6922, 4 x 6550


Are there any other major measures to consider?
