INTRODUCTION Power amplifiers The speakers are driven by multiple independent high-power, low- feedback power amplifiers. The combination of idealised magnetic design, careful star earthing, and very fast output devices gives the amplifiers extremely low noise, high detail, and fast bass. The whole electronic assembly is supplied from substantial toroidal transformers feeding high-quality, audiophile-grade capacitors. Cabinet Each DSP loudspeaker is carefully designed with internal bracing and d
