The S200 is a 200W stereo Amplifier built along the same design approach as our world renown M200 monoblocks. Never has so much Class A power been packed into such an amazingly compact and attractive design. The S200 amplifier makes use of our novel MSB Isorack Damping Feet which provide stackability and amazing mechanical isolation. Our advanced thermal design provides close temperature control for optimum sound in all conditions. 

Some amplifiers hold an image together well with multiple instruments playing but were not capable of fully resolving the individual instruments. Other amplifiers simply sound wonderful until more than two or three things started happening at once! We even listened to a few amplifiers that were completely missing notes in low frequencies! The S-200 amplifier was designed from the ground up to be full of resolution, dynamics, to hold a solid image for each instrument no matter how many are going at once, with out being harsh or edgy. It is a Reference Amplifier, and capable of driving the gambit of speakers. 

Truly Balanced Architecture 

Both the inputs and the outputs of this Amplifier are completely Balanced. There is no funny business going on here! The S200 also offers a single-ended input, that is treated separately from the balanced input. A simple switch located near the input jacks allows you to switch the Amplifier between Single-Ended operation, Balanced (high gain, + 6dB) and Balanced (low gain). 

Control Features 

The S200 has both a total power on / off and standby mode all selected by the front panel switches. When connected to other MSB products it can be powered on and off with the master power controls.
