The Audiopax Maggiore M-100 is a high-end monoblock power amplifier delivering 100 watts in single-ended Class A1 operation using six KT88 tubes. It employs zero negative feedback and features the proprietary Timbre Lock technology, which allows fine-tuning of sound quality to reduce distortion and achieve perfect synergy with speakers. The amplifier uses a unique topology combining the best features of single-ended tube and solid-state designs, including the ASTAT (Asymmetrical Series-Twin Amplifier Topology) and IDS (Ideal Device Simulator) technologies. It has a frequency response from 15Hz to 80kHz (-3dB), an input impedance of 100k ohms, and a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 100dB at full power. The amplifier chassis is robustly built with polished stainless steel and aluminum plates, and it includes high-quality components such as Alps volume controls and Neutrik connectors. The design emphasizes organic, natural, and fast sound with impressive timbral precision, deep silence, visceral dynamics, and micro-dynamics revealing musicians' intentionality. The Maggiore M-100 is part of Audiopax's Maggiore line, representing a superlative evolution of their award-winning amplifiers.
