Fezz Audio has introduced the Fezz Olympia Mono Power Amplifier and the Fezz Olympia Dual Mono Amplifier. The models are based on KT88 tubes and offer high output power.
Fezz Olympia Mono Power Amplifier is a pair of monoblock power amplifiers that offers 150 W. The model is based on 4 x KT88 + 1 x 12AX7 + 1 x 12AU7 tubes (parallel push-pull configuration) and has a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.1% up to 100 W or 1% at full power. With a damping factor of 30, the devices can work even with complex loudspeakers.
