Know before you buy
The FLS8 is designed for demanding, high-end loudspeakers that require significant current to perform at their best. With its ability to deliver up to 1500 watts into 2 ohms, it provides the stability and control necessary for speakers with complex impedance curves or low sensitivity.
Instead of using fuses, which can introduce resistance and color the sound, the FLS8 utilizes a microprocessor-controlled current sensing system. This approach ensures maximum sonic transparency while still providing robust protection for both the amplifier and your speakers.
The Class A current-feedback gain stage is encapsulated in an aluminum box to ensure thermal stability and isolation from external interference. This design choice maintains consistent performance and tonal accuracy, even during long listening sessions.
While the FLS8 features fully balanced circuitry for optimal performance, it can be used with both balanced and unbalanced inputs. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into high-end systems regardless of your preferred connection type.
The FLS8 features a massive 2000VA shielded toroidal transformer paired with 128,000µF of low-impedance capacitors. This robust power delivery ensures the amplifier remains fast, dynamic, and unflappable, even during the most demanding musical passages.
A monoblock design means each amplifier handles only one channel, requiring you to purchase two units for a stereo setup. This configuration eliminates crosstalk between channels and allows for independent power delivery, resulting in superior imaging and soundstage depth.
