CA25 V3

About the CA25 V3

The Omtec CA-25 V3 is a mono power amplifier delivering 25 watts into 8 ohms and 50 watts into 4 ohms, operating in Class A mode. It features a heavily cascoded symmetrical buffered current feedback input stage coupled with a high linearity push-pull current mirror (VAS), similar in topology to classic current feedback operational amplifiers like the AD844 or AD846. The amplifier is praised for its tube-like sound tuning despite being a solid-state design, offering very stable performance under varying loads. It is designed with regulated voltage for the VAS and input stages and includes a servo to ensure correct offset. The amplifier is well-regarded for clarity, realism, and a sound signature that combines punchy, controlled bass with crisp treble and tonal purity reminiscent of valve amplifiers. The unit is typically housed in a silver chassis and is considered a high-quality transistor end amplifier suitable for pairing with complementary electronics for high-fidelity audio reproduction.
