The Canary Audio Grand Reference is a pair of Class A, push-pull triode monoblock power amplifiers using eight 300B tubes per monoblock. Each amplifier is rated at 120 watts RMS and includes custom-designed power and output transformers, 4- and 8-ohm outputs, and a tube complement of eight 300Bs, three 6SN7GTBs, and one 6SL7. Its unusually high power output distinguishes it from many lower-powered 300B amplifiers.
