These 245 amps required a leap in imagination. While single ended amplifiers are highly sort after by valve purists a well-executed push pull amp can provide extra output power and can deliver a lively and open sound.
The aim in the premium 245 amp build was to preserve good qualities of a single ended amp, such as immediacy, sense of timing and tone, yet also deliver outstanding openness and dynamics even when playing demanding music. To achieve this the amp was seriously over specified, and high quality parts were used everywhere. Being a two-box design running in pure Class A with filament filters and careful power regulation the noise floor is very low, allowing you to hear the subtle nuances, the timing changes and tonal shifts in the music.
The music delivered by this amp is effortless and beautiful. There is no strain and fatigue even when most demanding pieces are played. The customer for this amp says:
....he is getting sound out of his speakers that he ‘never thought was possible’. These amps allow you to be ‘more emotionally connected to the music’. Good music played with these amps now ‘reaches up and grabs you in a way that you cannot ignore, it is sublime’.
