PS Audio BHK 300 Monoblock Amplifier - Silver
The importance of the power amplifier in the 2-channel system chain cannot be overstated, yet it's often overlooked. It's the rare few music lovers that truly appreciate the power amp's critical role in preserving music's nuanced details, because most amplifiers fail to preserve them. Overtones from plucked instruments, subtle cues defining placement, depth, soundstage width, and transient decays are often lost in the power amplifier. Suddenly revealed are the tiniest of details that now ring clear through the BHK, perfectly preserved through its low feedback, vacuum tube and MOSFET design. When it comes to musically controlling and powering loudspeakers, the BHK Signature 300 has no peer. The Signature 300 monoblock amplifier produces 300 watts into an 8Ω loudspeaker, 600 watts into 4Ω, and 1,000 watts into 2Ω, providing unfettered and unrestricted dynamics and musical ecstacy that only a rare few are able to enjoy.
