M18 STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER
M18 STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER
True dual-differential amplifier design with a fully balanced topology for enhanced channel separation and minimized distortion
Power output flexibility delivering 125W into 8Ω, 400W into 4Ω, and 500W into 2Ω, ensuring robust performance with a wide range of speakers
Balanced inputs optimized for high-fidelity balanced connections, complementing Bricasti preamplifiers and other balanced sources
Ultra-low distortion design prioritizes clarity for precise and transparent reproduction of audio details
Finish available in Classic black, Argento silver, and Platinum
The Bricasti M15 MKII stereo amplifier is a crucial component in any audio system, particularly those designed around Bricasti principles. Like its larger monoblock counterpart, the M30, the M15 delivers abundant power at critical points in the audio chain, creating a seamless sonic pathway from source to speakers. Its fully differential, balanced architecture ensures performance that is both audible and tangible.
PRECISE
CONTROL
The power amplifier is a critical part of the audio chain. It must amplify the incoming signal evenly while precisely managing the loudspeaker's load and controlling its back EMF. The sound of the M15 is designed to be transparent and revealing, maintaining low dynamic distortion with no sense of limits or compression, regardless of loudspeaker technology.
BALANCED
POWER
The M15 MKII stereo amplifier is a true reference design in analog power amplification. Its uncompromising architecture delivers extremely low distortion with moderate power and a unique balanced topology rarely seen in the industry. When paired with the M1 Classic DAC or M12 Source Controller, the M15 MKII achieves a fully differential signal path from the converter to the loudspeaker.
MODERN
APPLICATION
The M15 MKII is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing systems while offering a more compact form factor. The M15 also incorporates Stillpoints isolation directly into its feet, delivering many of the same sonic benefits as the M28 monoblock.
FEATURES
DUAL DIFFERENTIAL
TECHNOLOGY
The M15 MKII stereo amplifier features a fully balanced, dual-differential design with separate amplifiers for each channel, delivering exceptional signal fidelity. Preventing negative signals from contacting ground reduces crosstalk, noise, and interference, improving the signal-to-noise ratio for a more natural, lifelike sound at any volume.
