Swedish high-end audio manufacturer Marten generally keep on with speakers, but their latest work, the gorgeous M-Amp monoblock , is their first foray into the sector of powered amplifiers. But are slick looks and distortion-free sound reproduction worth $45,000/pair to you?
According to Stereophile, this pair of amplifiers produces sound that one would expect from a more technically capable setup. And Ultimate AV Mag describes the M-Amp’s internal workings as such:
The fully balanced M-Amp is predicated on Marten’s proprietary Adaptive Modulation Servo (AMS) technology, that is described as an ” inverting, globally self-oscillating, class-D stage” in addition as a ” load-independent, wide-bandwidth, first-order modulator, switching at 600kHz, with a continuing loop gain of 30dB your entire way up to the switching frequency.”
That’s great, but can it handle my Demi Lovato MP3 collection? [ UltimateAVMag via BornRich ]
