Frequency response is rated at 15Hz to 100kHz (-2dB). The CS-300XO features paper-in-oil coupling capacitors, gold-finished front and back panels, walnut side cheeks, and solid, substantial build quality at roughly 11kg (24 lbs). As an authorized Leben dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you pair the CS-300XO with the right source components and loudspeakers for your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEL84 push-pull tube integrated amplifier, 15 watts per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePair of Sovtek 12AX7WA input\/driver tubes, quad of JJ EL84 output tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 15Hz–100kHz (-2dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePaper-in-oil coupling capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelectable output transformer impedance: 4\/6\/8 Ohm, to match a wide range of loudspeaker loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 sets of line-level inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFront panel controls: input selector, volume, balance, bass boost switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTape monitor switch, headphone input with dedicated headphone\/speaker selector switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold-finished front and back panels with walnut side cheeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVented top cover for tube ventilation — allow adequate clearance around the amplifier when installing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmplifier type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEL84 push-pull tube integrated amplifier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15W per channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput\/driver tubes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2x Sovtek 12AX7WA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput tubes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4x JJ EL84\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15Hz–100kHz (-2dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoupling capacitors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaper-in-oil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput impedance selector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 \/ 6 \/ 8 Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6x line-level, plus tape monitor and headphone input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 11 kg (24 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-finished front\/back panels, walnut side cheeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat loudspeakers does the CS-300XO work well with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe selectable 4\/6\/8 Ohm output impedance lets the CS-300XO match a wide range of loudspeaker loads, including higher-impedance vintage designs.
