The newly introduced SLI-80HS (Heritage Series) stays true to its esteemed heritage. Its circuit design minimizes feedback, resulting in unparalleled transparency and intricate musical detail. Despite its rated power output, the amplifier delivers impressive bass texture and impact. The addition of solid-state rectification enhances the pace, dynamics, and bass detail compared to previous versions. The depth and transparency of the sound will astonish you, making you turn your head in disbelief as if the musicians were performing live before your eyes. The amplifier features toggle switches that allow you to choose between triode mode, providing 40 watts per channel of pure Class A power, or ultra-linear mode, doubling the power to 80 watts per channel in Class AB. Whether you prefer subtle music with exquisite inner detail or crave a high-powered and dynamic experience, the choice is yours!
