The American company Boulder has released a monoblock power amplifier under the number 1152. According to the developers, Boulder 1152 is capable of driving almost any speaker system on the market. The amplifier is capable of delivering 350 W per channel at 8 Ohm, 600 Ohm at 4 Ohm and 750 Ohm at 2 Ohm load. The compact design has the same footprint as the 1110 preamplifier.
A new protection circuit safely and immediately switches off the output section in the event of a short circuit in the speaker cables or malfunctions in the system. The redesigned and modernized automatic bias circuit accurately stabilizes the operating parameters. The Boulder 1152 output stage uses 40 transistors and 12 power capacitors. Thus, it was possible to achieve stable output power even with a complex load.

SPEC RSA-EX1000 – integrated amplifier in a case made of maple and spruce
The Japanese company SPEC CORPORATION has introduced a new integrated amplifier SPEC RSA-EX1000. The model uses a main board designed to minimize the length of the passage of musical signals from the volume control to the low-pass filter - according to the manufacturer, this preserves even the weakest signals and ensures a wealth of detail. Of course, the sound quality is also improved by reducing the inductance (coil effect) due to the minimization of internal wiring.

Definitive Technology Demand D11 – compact bookshelf loudspeakers with a bunch of innovations
The Definitive Technology Demand D11 bookshelf speakers use a dual suspension system of the BDSS mid/low-frequency driver, in which the 165 mm polypropylene diffuser is attached to the basket not only along the outer edge. In this case, the second suspension in the center of the system connects the inner edge of the diffuser with the core, which contains a proprietary waveguide - this design significantly improves the linearity of the diffuser movement.
