It provides an exquisite tube sound in terms of transparency, air, harmonics and refinement… in one word, musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power stage is a solid-state power amplifier, high-bias current, class-AB, designed to be comfortable with every load. It provides speed and dynamics, without losing that tube magic. The volume control is motorized and remote-controlled, the remote is hewn from solid wood. Power supplies are over-specified and damped, just the way we like them at Upscale. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally, you will find carefully selected components, pure silver Pathos wiring, gold plated terminals,and the highest quality of chassis materials.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonoblock Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic One can be bridged to mono and output 180 W @ 8 Ohm.
