The MAX is a flagship mono power amplifier from Audionet, built with substantial output and an exceptionally wide rated bandwidth. This model represents the fullest expression of Audionet's mono amplifier engineering, sitting above the AMP I V2 as the brand's most ambitious per-channel amplification design.
Position in line
It sits above the AMP I V2 in Audionet's mono amplifier hierarchy, alongside the Schrodinger and standard AMP as related models. This positioning above the AMP I V2 confirms the MAX represents Audionet's fullest current engineering ambition for mono power amplification.
Key specs that matter
Input impedance is 3,000 ohms balanced and 37,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is 400 W into 8 ohms, rising to 700 W into 4 ohms - a clean doubling suggesting an exceptionally robust power supply. Rated bandwidth is an extraordinary 0 Hz to 500 000 Hz. Signal-to-noise exceeds 125 dB. Maximum power consumption is 2000 W. Damping factor exceeds 1800 at 10 kHz. At 215 x 285 x 500 mm and 38 kg it is a substantial, heavy chassis, consistent with the serious power supply this exceptional output requires.
Sound and use context
Expect an extremely powerful, wide-bandwidth presentation with the clean doubling into 4 ohms suggesting exceptional current reserve - a flagship-tier performer reflecting Audionet's fullest engineering ambition for mono power amplification.
Pairing
The clean doubling into 4 ohms suits the most demanding or low-sensitivity loudspeakers without derating concerns, capable of driving almost any domestic loudspeaker load without strain.
Alternatives
Audionet's AMP I V2 sits below this model as a more accessible mono alternative; the Schrodinger sits nearby as a related design, worth comparing directly with a dealer given the considerable investment this flagship mono amplifier represents. Given the considerable price and ambition this flagship mono amplifier represents, a dealer demonstration alongside a matching Audionet preamplifier is strongly recommended before any purchase decision. Audionet extensive dealer network makes arranging such a demonstration practical for most serious buyers at this level. Overall this remains a flagship-tier mono amplifier choice within Audionet catalogue. A rigid, well-supported equipment shelf remains worthwhile given this substantial chassis weight.
