Elite Sneak Peek

Post by MW3 »

Gents,

For the past year, we have been hard at work on an extremely high performance amplifier line.

We will be releasing a new High End amplifier line at CES.

Line contains three models. MSRP is $1200 and up.

Build, conservative power ratings and sonic quality that rivals (and surpasses IMHO) ZPA.

More details to come, enjoy...

glad to hear pg is again into that area again....

I better hurry up and finish my install before I start to think about switching lines/amps then as it sounds like it would be pretty pricey to have the 4 amps I am going to run....

Morgan, can you give us power ratings for each of the three new models?
XS2300, XS2500, XS2300, X200.4, X100.2, Ti21000.4, Roadster 66

I will post another more complete update of specs of new amp models just after Turkey Day.

They are on the bench now, for the record, we are going extra conservative with power ratings.

oh man...were are going back to the good old days.

I hope these work out better than the remake of Soundstreams Human Reign amps which were actualy awesome but too expensive and they gave them away at a huge loss in the end...talking about the ones that came out couple years ago or so.

I hope this works out

2. Power numbers are important but our goal here is also sound quality. The electrical design and components (huge sanken Devices, burr brown op amps, monolithic caps, etc) are key.

Yes, and they go up from 40Hz to 4kHz so you can run a fully active system with tweeters or midbasses.
