SW1X Audio Design™ SPA V Zenith
Performance Level 3/4/5
300B DHT Power Amplifier
SPA V is a 3 gain stage Stereo Power Amplifier without input switch and volume control. Therefore it is ideally paired with our PRE III or PRE IV Line Pre-amplifier.
The Directly Heated 300B Triodes at the output need no introduction. They are driven either by popular 6J5/6SN7 input/driver tubes or with the powerful 6V6 to produce seemsless linear and balanced sound.
Available in different versions: Standard, Special and the limited Classic or Signature versions with different power output transformer options (M6, SHiB and UHiB) and all Copper or Copper/Silver windings
