Overview
The Exhilaration of Pure Class A. An amplifier operating in pure Class A always produces its full rated output power, regardless of the actual output requirement. This no-holds-barred approach which requires a hefty power supply and output stage results in fabulous audio performance, making such a power amplifier the dream of audiophiles worldwide. The Pure Class A Stereo Power Amplifier A-47 represents the state of the art in this field. Featuring large external heat sinks that allow well balanced dimensions, it delivers 45 watts of impeccable power into 8 ohms, taking the listener into a new realm of musical enjoyment.
