Real Monster Monoblock Tube Amplifier
http://http//www.jadis-electronics.com/photos/ja500/45/2/ja500_last_jpeg_site.jpg
About 18 years ago, I got used Jadis 500 Monoblocks to drive B&W 800 with 14 inch woofer.
Jadis 500 give 400W tube power with 12 KT88 tubes on each monoblocks.
The Power supplies are separate so it consists of 4 blocks with 120 LB each.
It had the most powerful bass and wide soundstage that I had experienced much better than Krell KSA 150.
Since I could not use it during summer because of too much heat generated , I sold the Jadis after using it for 3 years without much loss since I got used one at good price.
Now my speaker (Lansche 4.1) is not very power hungry (99db/W spec, real no. close to 94) with internal SS amplifier to drive two 10 inch bass units.
So I may not need another monster monoblock but I keep old memory of Jadis 500 which is a real monster .
