Design:


The Theta Digital Intrepid is a five-channel amplifier
boasting 100Wpc into 8 ohms and 200Wpc into 4 ohms. One of the things that sets the
Intrepid apart from other amplifiers is its use of a single, massive 1100VA power
transformer and a 35A bridge rectifier for all five channels. Rather than isolating each
channel, Theta Digital reasoned that -- as it is rare that all five channels of a power
amplifier will be going flat-out at one time -- it would make sense for any single channel
confronted with a full-level signal to have access to the entire current capability of the
transformer. Theta Digital says that unless all five channels are driven to full power,
the channels not driven all that hard effectively lend their portion of the
transformer’s power to the active channels. In theory, it might be preferable for
each channel to have its own completely independent, massive power supply. In practice,
power supplies are expensive and add significantly to the price of a power amplifier and
unless price is no object (isn’t price always an object?), this may be the most
practical approach. Theta Digital claims that any single channel is capable of
130W.

Review Conclusion from Home Theater Sound, John Potis : www.hometheatersound.com


At first blush the Theta Digital Intrepid amplifier looks
to be, shall we say, not inexpensive. Upon closer inspection one must consider that there
are five 100W channels of exceedingly high-quality sound under the hood -- and oh,
what a great-looking hood it is, too. Now that I’ve lived with the amplifier for the
better part of two months I’ve come to see it as a very good value. Its fundamental
sound quality is of high order and those looking to expand into a multichannel system
without wanting to compromise two-channel performance will want to give heavy
consideration to the Theta Digital Intrepid. Ultimately, I think the only people who
won’t be happy with the Intrepid are those with speakers that demand more power. For
everybody else, the Intrepid represents a refined amplifier that will engender real pride
of ownership for years to come.
