As long as you "caught" all the other likely faults and faulty
components like shorted diodes, open low ohm resistors, electrolytics,
driver transistors, cracked solder connections, etc, etc,.. then your
Onkyo amp will power up just fine even with transistors that are not
exactly beta matched.... the final product might be distortion numbers
that are very slightly off spec but not really a big problem. Put in
the transistors that you have, doublecheck for other related failures
and cross your fingers and power it up, if they blow again, it is NOT
the output transistors that you installed, it would mean that you
missed something. .... otherwise, enjoy the music.
