Thrax HEROS MK2S
A class A hybrid power amplifier combining the warmth of triode tubes with solid-state precision.
The Heros Mk2S is many audiophiles dream as it is a high power tube amplifier withou the problems of ot output tube maintenace. At the heart of Heros lies a revolutionary single differential DC-coupled FET/Tube stage, functioning as a single "super tube." This unique design locks the "Super Tube" between input trandsformer and a low-impedance push-pull output transformer. This achieves nearly double the efficiency of traditional Solid State Class A amplifiers. The result? A new class in resolution and harmonic richness with drive and precision usually not available in such combination.
The Heros MK2S has been the cornerstone of the Thrax range now executed with another decade of accumulated experience. Experience Class A tube sound in a Solid State form factor.
