The Icon Audio 845 PP Integrated Amplifier is for Audiophile that wants the richest tube sound with detail and warmth that other tubes can only imitate.
The Ultimate Tube Integrated Amplifier is achieved in the Icon Audio UK Stereo 845 PP. Pure Class A Triode front-end and pure Triode push-pull output stage incorporating the amazing sounding 845 tubes. This Icon Audio flagship integrated amplifier was designed to get the best performance out of the fabulous 845 tube and is ideal for the listener that wants the ultimate in a luxurious warm sound.
The legendary 845 luxurious sound quality is
presented here in nearly all class A, as the valves are
only running at 35% of their rated output. The
attention to detail and quality will reveal the finest
detail of your recordings in a warm musical form.
Everything possible has been done to allow this
superb valve (Tube) to work its magic. Forty watts is ample
power to obtain a high volume in most situations.
This means that all of the components and valves are
generously rated to give the ST845 its enviable sonic
signature. And still comfortably get everything in one
chassis.
The importance of Push-Pull. Many exotic SE
designs are criticized for their distortion and bass
performance. A glance at the ST845 figures shows
real bass power at low distortion is possible!
The sound quality: tested on a wide range of
loudspeakers the ST845 offers a very unbiased
interpretation of music that only valves can do. The
design is deceptively simple, using very little
feedback, lots of pure copper and heat!
You can expect a three-dimensional sound stage,
and very precise imaging is more precise. The
“texture” of each instrument is more apparent.
Why did we design this? Following our very
successful MB845 110w mono blocks, we realized
that there are many people who just love the sublime
quality of the 845 valves but do not need high power
or have the space needed for two large mono blocks
and a pre-amp. Surprisingly 100w to 40w is only
3.9db lower in sound output, so the ST845 is an
excellent relatively small one box.
Summary: The finest pure triode presentation without the
high power of our MB81s. Created with absolute listening
quality in mind. The “ultimate” triode PP integrated
amplifier.
