It's built modular, with one 250W Class A\/B amplifier stage per channel across all 5 channels, driven by a super-silent audiophile power transformer for a high dynamic range and detailed soundstage. A sophisticated heat sink design means no fan is needed, so the amplifier runs completely silent even under heavy load.
