Introduction 

The Ampzilla 2000 Second Edition embodies state-of-the-art execution of a monoblock power amplifier. On the 
muscle side, the Ampzilla uses twelve 250-watt output devices and a 2000VA custom designed and built 
transformer for each monoblock. As well, each monoblock has 100,000µf of power supply filtering with dual 
rectification. Utilizing a completely new variation of our Forward Gain topology to achieve unprecedented 
improvements in linearity, the new circuit is so smooth that it can actually be listened to open loop without feedback. 
 
The Ampzilla 2000 Second Edition is conservatively rated at 300 watts into 8

Ω

 and 540 watts into 4

Ω

, and is stable 

below 1

Ω

. With this much power, a pair can drive the most demanding speaker loads to thunderous levels as deftly 

as they can whisper the most delicate notes from higher sensitivity speakers. 
 
The entire circuit is fully balanced from input to output and includes a unique new unbalanced-to-balanced 
converter for single-ended inputs. The captive industrial-grade 12 gauge power cord is selected specifically for the 
Ampzilla and is welded on for maximum conductivity and security, eliminating the hassle or expense of aftermarket 
cords. The Ampzilla 2000 Second Edition also sports a second set of binding posts for bi-wiring or -amplification. In 
sum, this proficient powerhouse is the last amplifier you’ll likely ever need. 
 
We hope you enjoy your new Ampzilla(s).
