M15 STEREO AMPLIFIER, CLASSIC OR ARGENTO FINISH: £18000
True Dual-Differential Amplifier: Fully balanced, dual-differential topology enhances channel separation and minimizes distortion.
Power Output Flexibility: Delivers 125W into 8Ω, 400W into 4Ω, and 500W into 2Ω, ensuring robust performance with a variety of speakers.
Balanced Inputs: Optimised for balanced connections, complementing Bricasti’s preamps and other high-fidelity balanced sources.
The ultra-low distortion design prioritises clarity, allowing for precise, transparent reproduction of audio details.
Handcrafted in the USA: Built with precision and durability, embodying Bricasti’s commitment to high-end audio engineering.
The Bricasti M15 stereo amplifier is essential to any audio system, especially those designed by Bricasti. Like its larger mono-block counterpart, the M30, the M15 provides abundant power at critical points in the audio chain, creating a seamless sonic pathway from the source to the speakers. This performance is audible and tangible due to its fully differential and balanced architecture.
The power amplifier is a critical part of the audio chain. It has to take the incoming signal and amplify it evenly, and most importantly, deal with the loudspeaker's load and control its back EMF with precision. The sound of the M15 is intended to be transparent and revealing with low distortion dynamically with no sense of limits and compression irrespective of loudspeaker technology.
PRECISE
CONTROL
The M15 Stereo amplifier is a true reference design in analogue power amplification. Its uncompromising design offers extremely low distortion with moderate power and a unique, balanced topology rarely seen in the industry. Combined with the M1 Classic DAC or M12 Source Controller, the M15 can achieve a fully differential signal path from the converter to the loudspeaker.
BALANCED
POWER
The M15 intends to integrate seamlessly into your existing system while allowing for a more compact form factor. A unique feature like trim control lets you properly gain stage the M15, critical with today’s digital sources driving the amplifier directly. You also enjoy the same sonic benefits of the M28 monoblock with the stillpoints isolation designed directly into the feet.
MODERN
APPLICATION
The M15 Stereo amplifier features a fully balanced, dual-differential design, with separate amplifiers for each channel. This configuration ensures exceptional signal fidelity. Preventing negative signals from contacting the ground significantly reduces electronic crosstalk, noise, and interference while improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The outcome is a more natural and lifelike sound at any volume level.
