Superior Technology and Innovative Design yields the sound quality of the concert hall!

The S200 is a 200W class A stereo Amplifier built along the same design approach as our world renown M203 monoblocks. The M203 have been well

established as the reference amp to beat, but they are big and expensive. MSB has taken what we have learned in the monoblock and with some very clever design and packing, fit it into our very successful DAC IV package. Never has so much Class A power been packed into such an amazingly compact and attractive design.

Some amplifiers hold an image together well with multiple instruments playing but are not capable of fully resolving the individual instruments or soundstage. Other amplifiers simply sound wonderful until more than two or three things start happening at once! We even listened to a few amplifiers that seemed to be completely missing low frequency notes! The S200 amplifier was designed from the ground up to resolve the well organized and truthful harmonics of the best sources like MSB’s own DAC IV series. The dynamics get special attention with a quiet and robust power supply with deep current reserves. The S200 plays music beautifully and will hold a solid image for each instrument especially when the music gets complex and many instruments are going at once, with out being harsh or edgy.

It is a Reference Amplifier, and capable of driving the gambit of speakers. Both the inputs and the outputs of this Amplifier are truly Balanced from end-to-end.
