SW1X Audio Design™ AMP III “Trinity” Performance Level 3/4/5
45 DHT Integrated Amplifier
AMP III is a 2 gain stage Power Amplifier coupled with a High Quality Pre-amplifier using our in house designed and in house made stepped attenuator volume control.
The Directly Heated 45 Triodes at the output are well known for their superbly refined & magical sound signature. They are driven by 6SJ7 valves to produce the classic energetic & emotionally involving sound.
AMP III is extremely refined sounding & musical and also in the same powerful sounding Integrated Amplifier, especially when combined with high sensitivity speakers
(99dB/W/1m sensitivty is recommended).
