Everything wrong with high-end audio, right here in the form factor of one amp.

450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier
.
The Boulder 3050 monobloc weighs 450 pounds, 1500 wpc.
A pair of monoblocs weighing right at a half-ton...amazing.
The Pass Labs XS 300 monobloc weighs 300 pounds, 300 wpc.
With all of the advances in amplifier design, does an amp really have to be that big to get the results they're after?
The 1500 wpc D-Sonic monobloc weigh 12 pounds...I love it!

The weight may be an unconscious attempt by the Boulder designers to maximize the iron effect as explained by the Iron Theory proposed by Jeff Lafortune. |
. The 450 pound Boulder monoblocs are small potatoes compared to the 1,000 wpc Krell Master Reference monoblocs seven years ago. The Krells weighed 680 pounds per monobloc. Boulder managed an extra 500 wpc and are 230 pounds lighter, so compared to Krell, it looks like Boulder found a way to make the amps smaller and more powerful. . |
