MOS FET output transistors. This construction provides improved linearity and accurate representation of each
channel for true high fidelity reproduction from even the most demanding Dolby Digital and DTS program
sources. In addition, the amplifier uses Direct Construction and a Direct Current Bus Bar to give the purest sound
available. All these elements consolidated in one amplifier afford the listener a new surround sound experience
in his or her home.
