New! Signature and Platinum models now available
The new Musical Design D-150B power amplifier originates with the highly regarded D-150 series. Now there are improvements in almost every facet of the design. The newly developed front-end circuit is derived from our latest D-75B and DM-100B amplifiers, featuring Single-Ended design with LED-biased Cascode, Class-A driver stage. Power supply size for the front-end has been increased, not to mention the dual-mono style main power supply with 100,000uf of capacitance. The power supply board has careful attention to layout parameters, contributing considerably to the sonics. The main chassis is fabricated from 1/8" steel and is larger making the weight greater and damping characteristics superior. The D-150B has a high-current output stage to go with the huge power supply, so that the D-150B will drive almost any speaker available. The D-150B is unshakable. Throw your most difficult passages at it and hear them reproduced with precision and clarity, without loss of cohesiveness. The dynamics are that of real life with the ability to energize the air with tangible excitement. The soundstage is solid and images remain tightly locked in place through the most violent orchestral fireworks. Yet, for all of it's precision, the D-150B is silky, sweet and elegant throughout the audible range. When you stop to think about it, there is nothing more detailed, and yet, sweeter than live music. Listen to a D-150B today! It will make you think about how it compares to live music, instead of how it compares to other amplifiers.
