Description
Icon Audio Stereo 845 PP is a premium integrated amplifier from Icon Audio. Designed to get the best out of the fabulous 845 valves, the Stereo 845 PP is ideal for someone wanting the ultimate in luxurious warm sound.
Engineering
Twelve years in the making, Icon Audio have used all of their experience and expertise to design and manufacture this remarkable amplifier. Everything possible has been done to allow this superb valve to work its magic. 40 watts is ample power to obtain a high volume in most situations. This means that all of the components and valves are generously rated to give the ST845 its enviable sonic signature. And still comfortably get everything in one chassis. Many exotic SE designs are criticised for their distortion and bass performance. A glance at the ST845 figures shows real bass power at low distortion is possible!
3D Soundstage
The sound quality tested on a wide range of loudspeakers the ST845 offers a very unbiased interpretation of music that only valves can do. This is partly due to the absence of monitoring and control circuits, surprising simplicity, very little feedback, lots of pure copper and heat! You can expect a more three-dimensional soundstage. Imaging is more precise. The “texture” of each instrument is more apparent.
Pure Triode
The Ultimate Pure Triode PP Integrated Amplifier! Probably the worlds first. Following their very successful MB845 100w monoblocks, Icon Audio realised that there are many people who just love the sublime quality of the 845 valves but do not need high power or have the space needed for two large monoblocks and a pre-amp. Surprisingly 100w to 40w is only 3.9db lower in sound output, so the ST845 is an excellent relatively small one box package.
