The Jubilee 300 B is a monoblock power amplifier from Octave Audio, built around the celebrated 300B output tube referenced in the model name. The Jubilee 300 B brings Octave's considered engineering to dedicated single-channel single-ended triode power amplification.

Key specs that matter

Input sensitivity is 500mV. Gain is 30dBu. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 100dB - a strong figure for a single-ended triode design. At 240 x 660 x 400mm and 55kg, the Jubilee 300 B's considerable weight reflects serious internal transformer engineering consistent with quality single-ended triode design at this scale.

Sound and use context

Expect the exceptionally rich, harmonically textured character single-ended triode 300B-tube amplification is broadly celebrated for among tube enthusiasts, combined with the strong over-100dB signal-to-noise figure representing Octave's considered German engineering standards.

Pairing

As a monoblock, the Jubilee 300 B requires two units per stereo pair, pairing best with notably efficient loudspeakers given the inherent power constraints of single-ended triode operation.

Alternatives

Octave's own Jubilee Mono Ultimate offers a considerably more powerful monoblock alternative within the same broader Jubilee catalogue.
