Forte Audio Model 6 Amp

Description

The Forte Model Six is a high-power, high-performance power amplifier that is well suited for large audio systems where sonic realism is measured not only in terms of liquidity and sound staging, but in volume. Operating in high-bias Class A/AB mode, the Model Six provides much of the sonic advantage of a Class A design at lower volume levels, along with the ability to drive difficult loads at more realistic volumes.
The Model Six offers a subjective performance that is much larger than its physical size. Rated at a conservative 200 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, it can drive large, reactive or low impedance loads with authority. Bass slam and dynamics are truly exceptional, while tonal liquidity and resolution rival that of costly high-power class A designs.
The Model Six uses the latest Threshold design nuances to achieve its high level of performance. Featuring a laser trimmed dual JFET input stage, DC coupling from input to output, and true overall feedback free design, the Model Six is truly an "up to the minute" amplifier. The power supply uses a massive toroidal transformer and the output stage is a sonically superior, high-current IGBT design. And XLR balanced inputs are standard.
All of this adds up to an amplifier that really shines in a large, high-performance audio system. For systems that have to drive demanding, low-impedance loudspeakers to high volume levels, the Model Six is truly a must-audition amplifier.
