"The Devialet without compromise for enthusiasts. Equipped with complete options, over-powerful, twin 250's configured as 670W mono-blocks and totally upgradable. Exclusive solid aluminium hand-polished frame."
On this site, the 800 is presented as 2 x 670W monoblocs…

Maybe there are consumer regulations or an importer who uses 8 ohms as the standard load for power specs??
The Devialet specs are into an unusual (for the english speaking countries at least) load of 6 ohms.
Some other continental makers don't use 8ohms but the tradition here and the US, and so maybe NZ and Oz has been 8 ohms for yonks, and that is what those magazines that test kit use too.
