Statement P5 Multichannel Amplifier

in Electronics

   In life we admire “heart.” When we say someone has heart we mean passion, spirit, fortitude. And we applaud it. While the amplifier is the brawn behind every successful music and movie presentation, it is also the heart! Its role is as crucial as that of the speakers in its ability to render delicate musical detail one minute and interpret spine-tingling musical crescendos the next. The most exquisite pieces of music fall flat without clean, quiet power to sustain them through to their natural, musical ebb. Movie special effects require an inordinate supply of stable high-current power to give visceral credibility to the “special” aspect of each effect! In fact, all truly successful sound reproduction requires “heart.”

   Effortless—with the ability to play quiet to loud, without strain. Exceptionally clean, clear and detailed. P5 amplifiers respond with profound equanimity to their role in the highest-quality five-channel system or demanding 7.1 surround-sound home theater.

   The heart of an amplifier rests with its design and it is here that P5 amplifiers begin to reveal their high-end lineage. Our commitment to edge-of-the-art design includes multi-layered hand-designed circuit boards with thick two-ounce copper traces; rugged, independent power supplies with tuned toroidal power transformers for each amplifier channel; fourteen rugged bipolar output devices per channel for an overdesigned output stage; massive custom-designed, convection-cooled heatsinks with serrated fins; a “no-fuse” design. And the list goes on.

   P5 amplifiers are fundamentally more revealing, display unparalleled musical refinement and deliver unheard-of resolution for both music and movies. They rival the finest power amplifiers available at any price.
