The series comprises the NAC S1 preamplifier and NAP S1 mono power amplifiers. \n\nThe idea for an entirely new kind of amplifier was first conceived by our engineers over a decade ago and development began in earnest in 2011. The objective was to set a new reference standard in high-end audio and music reproduction.\n\nThe result is Statement. Three years of relentless questioning, iterative design and a point blank refusal to accept no as an answer.\n\nProduct engineers often begin with what exists already. They might ask how something can work better, or where improvements can be made. With Statement, we started with a blank sheet of paper and a vision: to create the ultimate amplifier.\n\nAfter the initial concept stage the engineering team set aside practical considerations and began to map out the product in free space. This creative freedom was then backed up by 3D computer models which confirmed the optimum position for each component.\n\nTo accommodate this new layout Statement pioneers a new vertical structure. It was the best way to minimise electromagnetic and mechanical interference and maximise thermal performance.\n\nStatement's radically different aesthetic may seem like a departure from Naim Audio tradition but it's the ultimate expression of everything we represent.\n\nThe imposing monolithic structure with its stark silhouette is offset by the organic sculptural flow of the heat sink and the beautifully lit volume control and central divide. This duality in the design reflects how our pursuit of technical brilliance is always grounded in the abstract human experience of music. If it's the best amplifier in the world in lab tests we’ve only done half a job - it's in the listening room where it really counts.","brand":"Naim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":534263267333,"sku":"NAP S1","price":129999.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/products\/d0277d7f8496f1f59107535841d434f0.png?v=1555722948"},{"product_id":"mcintosh-mc-2301-tube-mono-amplifier","title":"Mcintosh MC-2301 300 Watt Mono Tube Amplifier","description":"From the demands of massed chorale to full-on rock and roll, the MC2301 delivers the most extraordinarily lifelike and dynamic performance ever heard from a McIntosh tube amplifier. With an output of 300 watts, it provides enough high power to drive even the most demanding loudspeaker. And thanks to our unique Autoformer, this full 300 watts is available to 2, 4 or 8 ohm speakers. \n\nThe MC2301 is the first McIntosh vacuum tube amplifier to use our Quad Balanced design. This design cancels virtually all noise and distortion in the audio signal. As a result, even when amplified to high levels the signal is effectively free of any distortion. Our fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit Sentry Monitor™ disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically. Inputs for balanced and unbalanced cables are available to provide flexibility in connecting the rest of your audio system. \n\nThe attractive blue meter is flanked by two rows of output vacuum tubes that bring even more visual appeal to the front panel to go along with the knobs and brushed aluminum handles that all effortlessly blend with the polished stainless steel chassis.","brand":"Mcintosh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":534286827525,"sku":"MC-2301","price":22000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/McintoshMC2301.jpg?v=1698510491"},{"product_id":"mcintosh-mc-611-mono-amplifier","title":"Mcintosh MC-611 Mono Amplifier","description":"The monoblock MC611 Quad Balanced Power Amplifier produces 600 Watts of power – enough to satisfy nearly any loudspeaker. A pair of MC611s can easily drive an impressive home stereo system, or add more of them to power a home theater. Thanks to our unique output Autoformer™ technology, your speakers will receive the full 600 Watts regardless if they have 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance, allowing you the ability to use the MC611 to its full potential.\nThe MC611 has received numerous updates and improvements compared to our previous 600 Watt monoblock model. Chief among them is that filter capacity has been doubled which has resulted in a dramatic 55% increase in dynamic headroom from 1.8dB to 2.8dB. This twofold increase in filter capacity also helps improve the performance of low end bass frequencies.\nThe front panel features new direct LED backlighting for improved appearance and color accuracy. On top, the audio Autoformer and power transformer remain seated just behind the front panel, but are now contained in new glass topped enclosures. Behind them are 2 of our Monogrammed Heatsinks™ which connect to advanced high current output transistors that help eliminate thermal equilibrium lag time. A screening of the amplifier’s block diagram has been added to the panel located between the heatsinks.","brand":"Mcintosh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8539910176821,"sku":"MC-611","price":13500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/McintoshMC611.jpg?v=1698425339"},{"product_id":"mcintosh-mc-901-mono-amplifier","title":"Mcintosh MC-901 Mono Amplifier","description":"\u003cp\u003eMcIntosh has been perfecting vacuum tube amplifiers since the 1940s and solid state amplifiers since the 1960s. Our amplifiers have been used at many historic events including presidential inaugurations and Woodstock, as well as in landmark sound systems like the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound and Despacio. From that heritage comes a truly one-of-a-kind home audio amplifier only we could dream of, design and build as the ultimate solution for bi-amping loudspeakers: the McIntosh MC901 Dual Mono Amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe MC901 is a monoblock amplifier that drives a single speaker. But it is unlike any other monoblock amplifier. What makes the MC901 so unique is that it's two amplifiers combined into one. Adding to the uniqueness is that each amplifier is of differing design philosophies: the MC901 consists of a 300 Watt vacuum tube amplifier attached to a 600 Watt solid state amplifier on one unified chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 300 Watt vacuum tube portion powers the speaker's mid and upper drivers via eight KT88 output tubes, plus four 12AT7 and two 12AX7A signal tubes; the solid state section delivers 600 Watts of dedicated power to the power hungry woofers. The 300 Watt vacuum tube amp in the MC901 uses our patented Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer - the same technology McIntosh was founded on in 1949 - to deliver its full 300 Watts into almost any speaker regardless if it has 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance. Similarly, the 600 Watt solid state amp delivers its full 600 Watts into a 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance speaker via our Autoformer technology.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVacuum tubes do not perform at their best when they are amplifying lower frequencies that are not being used by the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mcintoshlabs.com\/products\/speakers\"\u003eloudspeaker\u003c\/a\u003e. With the MC901, the vacuum tube amp will not be burdened with low end reproduction as the solid state section will drive these frequencies. The two amplifier sections of the MC901 are designed to work together in a synergistic relationship and are specifically engineered to assure that each section only amplifies its intended frequencies. Each amplifier section has its own discrete power supply so neither siphons power or performance away from the other. All of this results in easy bi-amping with unparalleled performance and sound reproduction from your speakers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mcintosh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31578005995573,"sku":"MC-901","price":31500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/McintoshMC901.jpg?v=1698519597"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/collections\/MC611Angle.jpg?v=1771263165","url":"https:\/\/hificentre.com\/collections\/power-amplifiers-mono\/reference+mono+naim.oembed","provider":"Hi-Fi Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
