SET 100 MKII

Monoblock Power Amplifiers

Price:

$93,000 pair

Product Features:

SET 100 is a single-ended hybrid amplifier of 2 gain stages, output power of 120W rms with low output impedance (0.5 Ohm). It has the magic midrange of a small S.E.T amplifier with the scale, authority, micro and macro detail that no amplifier has ever achieved until now. It uses a specially designed single-ended mosfet output stage. SET 100 has power and drive with transparency, musical involvement and above all with music sounding naturally.

With only 2 gain stages in the signal path, the level of immediacy and transparency is unequaled by designs using more than 2 gain stages. Having no overall feedback, the distortion is kept comparably low while the output impedance is sufficient enough to drive real world loudspeakers. The first stage is a high transconductance triode selected for its sonic capabilities and reliability. It is powered by a separate power supply with tube rectification and choke regulation.

SET 100 is an amplifier that produces music in its true natural scale, but above all it brings you as close as possible to the music event, to feel the music rather than hear it, to be touched and overwhelmed by the deeper feeling, with music emerging and not only sounding in a clear undistorted way. Compared with conventional amplifiers it is more direct sounding and musical with more instrument body, lower frequency extension, frightening dynamics and most of all magically three dimensional. Its strong point is that in large orchestra crescendos it sounds transparent and totally unstressed until it reaches full power.

In the MKII version several upgrades have been made. The input stage tube now used is the NOS 5842 type which is a high gain single triode. The copper foil paper in oil interstage capacitor has been removed and also the first and second output stage is now direct coupled through a sophisticated and simple technique. The bias of the output stage has been changed and now is done from the first stage. Also a bigger and lower noise power supply transformer has been developed and is now lying behind the casing of the SET-100.
