CENTAUR DIRECT

摘要

Novelty abounds inside the huge Centaur monoblocks. Instead of using one power amp stage comprising multiple transistors, each amplifier employs four 125W modules in a balanced bridged configuration [two are shown on the PCB, adjacent]. Neither are these modules entirely conventional as they only employ N-type MOSFETs, rather than complementary NPN and PNP pairs, in a single-ended configuration. The concept, according to Constellation, is to achieve the delicate sound and musicality of a small single-ended triode amp, albeit one with the capacity to 'play much louder'.
