Ianus Quintessence Mono Block Amplifiers

The QuintEssence is not just a higher powered version of the Single Stage-Single ended amplifier concept , used in the Essentia (and Aperio integrated). Instead, it is a (rev-)evolution of the TriodeFet technology , taking the performance of this unique active element to even higher level.

  • The triode-like transfer curves of the next Generation TriodeFet used in the QuintEssence elevates the performance of the new  Ianus amplifier to surpass the the very best Single Ended tube amplifiers. The superb midrange , treble, accurate timbre and immersive soundstage that we expect from big bottle tube amplification are taken to another level..

    As with all the  Ianus Series amplifiers,  it is also able to deliver more current than their tube counterparts, and are essentially maintenance free as the internal tubes used for curve creation are rated at 10,000 hours lifespan. Its unique single stage nature means that it is as sonically transparent as it can get. The amplifier power delivery is 60W (8ohm) full class A.
