The Decware Zen Torii MK III is a high-fidelity integrated tube amplifier delivering 25 watts per channel. It features two pairs of inputs with an input selector switch and volume control. The amplifier comes with hand-selected premium EL34 or KT66 output tubes by Tungsol, N.O.S. voltage regulation tubes (OA3 and OC2), new 6922 input tubes, and 5U4 rectifiers for each channel. It offers a remarkably flat frequency response within 0.4 dB across the audible range, measured through loudspeakers at normal listening levels. The design includes a unique voltage regulation approach using tubes in series as active filters, resulting in minimal tube stress and long tube life. The amplifier has treble and bass controls that adjust speaker interaction and frequency roll-off, tailored by ear for optimal sound. Its robust power supply and proprietary output transformers provide abundant headroom and gentle clipping characteristics, making it suitable for a wide range of music genres. The chassis measures 19-1/8" wide x 13-3/4" deep x 7-3/4" high and weighs 36.8 lbs. It ships with a lifetime warranty to the original owner and a 90-day warranty on tubes. The Zen Torii MK III is highly regarded for its single-ended tube transparency combined with higher power output, making it a unique and enjoyable amplifier in its class.
