Lindemann Musicbook Power II 1000 Power Amplifier

What defines a truly great power amplifier? Sufficient output, clean measurements with low distortion and high damping factor, maybe even high efficiency. While all of these are important, they say little about the musical experience it can deliver. A genuinely outstanding amplifier can drive a loudspeaker in such a way that every last nuance of the music becomes audible - effortlessly and with authority. The Musicbook POWER II is not only the perfect partner for the Musicbook SOURCE II, it also knows how to extract the very best from your speakers. Naturally, it delivers excellent measurements and consumes very little power in operation.
Externally unchanged, the POWER II introduces key improvements over its predecessor:
In the Musicbook POWER II, voltage amplification is handled by a dedicated analogue stage based on a top-tier amplifier chip. The N-CORE module acts as a powerful buffer, ensuring a high damping factor and absolute stability. This hybrid concept delivers significantly better sound quality than conventional Class D amplifiers. We call it a Class A-D amplifier.
The Musicbook POWER II is a state-of-the-art Class D amplifier. Its "N-CORE" design - short for "Encore" - is nothing less than a revolution. The technical specs are outstanding: extremely low distortion, ultra-high damping factor, and a linear frequency response up to 50 kHz.
Even more important: distortion remains minimal at high levels and in the treble, and the frequency response is completely independent of loudspeaker impedance. The connected speaker performs exactly as it should - under total control. The result is a highly musical, resonance-free and colourless sound experience.
A standout feature of the Musicbook POWER II is its ability to operate in vertical bi-amping mode, allowing one amplifier per channel. Each speaker is then driven separately in its bass and mid/high section. This requires speakers with dedicated terminals for each range. Many loudspeakers respond to this configuration with greater clarity in the low-mids and an overall more transparent sound.
Thanks to the ten-step bass level adjustment, the sound can also be easily adapted to your room and speaker positioning.
