Orchard Audio Launches Kickstarter Campaign for BOSC Monoblock GaN Audio Amplifier

There is a very interesting new audio project being promoted on Kickstarter. Coming from Orchard Audio, the BOSC is a well engineered hi-fi monoblock audio amplifier that explores the latest gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology to achieve ultra-high performance in a small package. This compact and affordable 150 watt amplifier shows a lot of potential, with an impressive circuit design and high-quality sound, and is available in 3-4Ω (13.8dB gain) or 6-8Ω (16.8dB gain) versions.

1,200 watts, 71kg, and $12,500 USD. The new MC1.25KW Quad Balanced Power Amplifier is one of McIntosh’s most advanced amplifiers to date, and the brand’s most powerful single-chassis monoblock amplifier, redesigned from top to bottom. It directly replaces its predecessor, the MC1.2KW and offers 1,200 watts of pure power into a single channel with a nearly imperceptible distortion (0.005%).
