This unique amplifier system splits the voltage and current gain required to increase power into discrete components. In doing so the high impedance voltage gain components are removed from the influence of the massive currents flowing through the current stage resulting in lower noise. Additionally the voltage gain stage is independent of the fluctuating power demands of the current stages and will not load as power is delivered.
The system is the evolution of the highly acclaimed System 100 which developed a strong following among those with highly demanding speakers such as the Apogee Scintilla with its notorious 1 Ohm loads. The new amp benefits from the advance of transistor technology since then and betters the performance in almost every respect.
