The V 110 SE is an enhancement of its predecessor, incorporating the innovative Octave Dynamic Technologies (ODT) to push the boundaries of integrated amplifier performance. Originating from the technology developed for the Jubilee Mono SE and incorporated into the MRE 220, ODT allows the V 110 SE to achieve peak output powers that dramatically surpass those of traditional push-pull amplifiers. Notably, this amplifier supports either KT 120 or KT 150 power tubes, which users can choose based on their audio preferences.
The amplifier's revamped power supply and output transformers significantly boost power handling capabilities, doubling the peak output power. Further refinement in the driver stage ensures meticulous control of the output tubes, promoting an almost perfect realization of the push-pull amplification principle. A nuanced approach to negative feedback ensures that it aids performance without detracting from the audial quality, giving way to an amplifier that performs with exceptional linearity, superior stability, and minimal noise and hum.
The Octave V 110 SE stands out by not only adapting effectively across different loudspeakers but also allowing the owner to fine-tune the amplifier’s interaction with the speaker via an adjustable damping factor. This feature, which offers LOW, MED, and HIGH settings adjustable by swapping one input tube, is unique and emphasizes Octave’s dedication to user-centric design. This facility enhances compatibility with varied speaker electrical loads and ensures consistent, high-quality performance irrespective of volume levels.
Completing the offer, Octave provides the V 110 SE in classic Silver or Black finish, ensuring that it can not only meet the technical demands of audiophiles but also suit their style preferences. Enhanced with practical features and the reliability of German engineering, the V 110 SE delivers a purist, yet versatile approach to integrated amplification, offering a rich and dynamic auditory experience. The amplifier also comes packaged with two additional input tubes, allowing users to explore its versatile sound adjustment capabilities straight out of the box.
