Quicksilver Audio KT Mono Amp // 8New / 0W Tube Amplifier Monoblocks / Aural Walnut Edition / Pair

Quicksilver's reputation is well-earned, yet they manage to exceed expectations time and time again. Their new KT Mono Amp is one of the most powerful, affordable, and sonically pure amplifiers on the market today. Right out of the box, this pair delivers 80 watts per channel, but they are compatible with a variety of output tubes - drop in some KT150's and open 'em up to 100W. The KT Mono is the clearest, most holographic amplifier quicksilver has ever made, and perhaps ever will. If you're near Denver, we invite you to audition them in our showroom, with a wide variety of new and vintage loudspeakers. We think you'll understand why we love them so much.

The Aural Walnut Edition matches a pair of the clear, yet powerful KT Mono amps with Quicksilver's Line Preamplifier, each presented in the beauty and warmth of walnut. Designed and handcrafted by Aural, these exclusive solid walnut faceplates are laser cut and etched, with the fit and finish you've come to expect from Aural. Available exclusively here.

LINER NOTES

The new KT Mono amp retains the high damping factor and low distortion of the Horn Mono but with enough power to handle inefficient and difficult to drive speakers. The amplifier accepts KT66, KT77, KT88, KT90, KT99, KT120, KT150, and KT170 power tubes and when ordered with KT150s will produce 100 watts. It also has low distortion all the way up to full power but at reduced power gives the efficiency, finesse and delicacy of a low powered amplifier.
