9 V3 Mono Block Power Amplifier |
 |
Like all of the rest of the NuForce products the Reference 9 V3's are amongst the finest power amplifiers available. Regardless of pricing these amplifiers hold there own with some of the finest valve and semi conductor amplifiers ever built, unlike most other amplifiers the reference 9's run at a cool temperature. The advantages to this are numerous but the main advantage is in the monetary and environmental cost of operation.
N class amplification has been fully researched by NuForce and is an exclusive method of power delivery. NuForce hold worldwide patents on the power delivery technology. Their innovation is apparent in the rapid development of this and other NuForce products.
"Finally, for the cost, output power, styling and size on hand, the NuForce Reference 9s open the doors for more budget-conscious music lovers to partake in high-resolution High Fidelity sound. We must always remember that only the most intensely committed would even enter a soirée with these monos intent on picking them apart. Everyone else will pretty much fall all over themselves over what they offer." Srajen Ebaen (6 Moons)
"Though they weigh in at only 14 pounds for the pair, the NuForce 9.02 monoblock amplifiers are world-class contenders. Their state-of-the-art bass is now complemented by superb mids and highs, laced with smooth sweetness, intensely musical textures, and 3-D imaging. Dynamics are thrilling, and the amps never sound harsh or etched." Robert H. Levi (Positive Feedback)
