JBL AVA7 125 watt by 7 Power Amp

While supplies last, save big on these A-stock, JBL Performance AVA7, Multichannel amplifiers!

The AVA7 provides a satisfying 125 watts per channel of distortion-free audio (<0.01% THD) into 8 ohms.
Because of their power capabilities, JBL Performance Series amplifiers have an extremely wide dynamic range, an element critical to realistic home cinema. Sound levels equal to those at original performances are easily re-created in even the largest of home listening environments.

The AVA7 utilizes two fans to cool the amplifier channels, ensuring long-term reliability. To reduce fan noise to an absolute minimum, a thermal-sensing and control circuit, which senses increases in temperature within the amplifier and powers the fans at a speed proportional to that temperature increase, has been incorporated in the JBL Performance Series AVA7. As a result, the fan is never turning faster than necessary, and most of the noise that is generated is masked by the program being listened to.

It also employs sophisticated protection circuitry (one for each channel) that senses many possible fault conditions, such as shorted loudspeaker wires or excess power demand, and turns the affected channel(s) off until the fault condition is removed, at which time normal operation is automatically restored. While protection of this sort is not uncommon in today’s well-designed amplifiers, a remarkable feature of the JBL Performance AVA7’s protection circuits is that they are optically coupled to the signal circuit; there is no direct electrical connection between the signal path and the protection circuitry. As a result, there can be no coloration of the music, no interaction between protection and amplification, until certain thresholds are exceeded, at which point the channel(s) would turn off completely.

Pioneer S-2 EX

  The S-2 EX stand mounted 3 way design  features a 1 3/8in, (3.5 cm) Beryllium tweeter for pristine sound and almost perfect reproduction of high frequencies up to 100 kHz used in DVD Audio and SACD formats today.  The tweeter is mounted in the center of a 5 1/2" (14cm) magnesium midrange driver allowing the sound directivity to be precisely controlled at all frequencies. The resulting aligned sound delivery is extremely smooth and coherent. Unlike conventional drivers, the problems with phase and off-axis frequency response have been totally eradicated. A  7-1/16 in. (18 cm) Aramid / Carbon composite shell woofer handles the bass.  The unique one-piece construction of the cone and center cap that was created for the EX Series bass driver, combined with the improved rigidity of the aramid fiber structure, produces a much stiffer and more rigid construction. Unwanted cone resonances are pushed beyond the bass driver’s operating range, allowing the cone to accurately pass the coil movement on to the air and significantly improve the accuracy of sound reproduction. With the tweeter/midrange and bass drivers perfected, an equally ingenious enclosure must be created to provide them with a stable base. The EX Series’ cabinets are crafted from multiple layers of laminated MDF, ranging from a minimum of 30 mm up to a generous 100 mm, to ensure that they remain inert. Along with the curved baffle and radius edges, these enclosures help create an amazingly realistic stage with exceptional clarity and focus. Read The Absolute Sound Review.

Audio Research Reference 210 monoblock tube amps

We sold this pair of REF-210's mono blocks originally to our customer who traded them in on the new Audio Research REF-250 mono blocks. They have silver faceplates and are one owner from a non smoking household and include the original packing. They have a total of about 4000 hours of use and are on their second set of new 6550 tubes (original set of tubes included if desired). We have tested the amplifiers and they work and sound fine.

The vacuum-flourescent display is addressable through the handheld remote control. Functions include the choice of six levels of illumination, plus off; bias measurements for each output tube; A.C. line voltage; logarithmic, scalable power output,and total hours of tube use. There is a small Papst fan mounted on the rear panel to circulate air over the audio stages.
The 12V D.C. fan runs continuously at a fixed low speed whenever the amplifier is powered-up. Input is balanced only, while the output has separate taps for 4-8-16 ohm speaker loads. As expected, there is a 20A IEC connector for power and the REF210 has a 12V trigger to allow remote turn-on.

Power output is 210 watts continuous based upon a push-pull, fully balanced vacuum-tube circuit running in partial cathode coupling mode, utilizing three matched pairs of 6550C output tubes. The REF210 uses two 6550C driver tubes, each controlling three output tubes operating in unison. The input stage uses direct-coupled JFETs, followed by a 6N1P vacuum-tube amplifying stage. New proprietary coupling caps and extensive film-cap bypassing of all electrolytics are used in the power supply. There is tube regulation of the input stage, with six additional solid-state regulators. Power supply rectification is solid-state with a total of seven regulators. The massive, custom output transformer is an ultra-widebandwidth design: the frequency response of the REF210 is an incredible 0.5Hz to 240kHz (-3dB). 50% coupling of the output stage cathodes to the transformer yields both higher efficiency and better sound than conventional pentode or triode operation.

TAD Evolution One

The heart of the TAD Evolution One is the Coherent Source Transducer Driver developed from that used in the TAD Reference One - a driver that embodies the single point source concept. The midrange and tweeter are configured coaxially so their directional characteristics conform. The resultant directional response remains uniform across a wide frequency, ensuring extremely stable sound localization and a natural soundfield. The tweeter diaphragm is made of beryllium, the lightest and stiffest metal available for speaker diaphragms. Formed by TAD’s unique deposition technique, it exhibits high internal loss and smooth frequency response. Achieving an ideal diaphragm shape based on computer analysis, it is capable of reproducing frequencies up to 100kHz. The midrange features an extremely lightweight magnesium diaphragm with high internal loss. Both of these units reproduce sound with virtually no distortion and none of the coloration characteristics of other materials. As a woofer requires a high degree of both stability and strength, TAD developed the Multi-layered Aramid Composite Shell diaphragm, made by laminating many layers of Aramid fabric and non-woven fabric for light weight and high stiffness. This shell-shaped diaphragm with integrated center cap and cone is driven by a large diameter voice coil and neodymium magnet, reproducing rich, clear bass with low coloration. The aero-design chassis is designed to minimise any airflow noise and improve the resolution of bass sounds. The Structurally Inert Laminated Enclosure Technology features a framework of high rigidity birch plywood combined with MDF for high internal loss, achieving an enclosure that combines high strength with low resonance. The enclosures teardrop shaped rear section further ereduces unwanted cabinet resonance as a result of the improved stiffness of the curved panels. Two finishes: high gloss black, or wood veneer with a closed-pore satin finish, enhance the beauty of the curved cabinet design. TAD put a great deal of effort into the design of the networks, to seamlessly intergrate the drive units into a cohesive whole. To eliminate any effects from magnetism and vibration due to the CST and bass drivers, the network filters are located outside of the cabinet. Installed within the high rigidity aluminum base, these networks are isolated both mechanically and acoustically from the influence of the main enclosure, ensuring maximum resolution.  9 of 10 condition with original packing.  Woodgrain finish.
