Emotiva BASX-7 7 Channel power amplifier

Circuit Topology
The BasX A7 is a seven channel power amplifier. The BasX A7 combines classical audiophile amplifier architecture, based on a heavy-duty linear power supply, and a carefully designed high current short signal path Class A/B output stage, with advanced microprocessor-controlled monitoring and protection circuitry, to deliver superb sound quality at a truly reasonable price.
