VALUE
We are confident that the C315BEE will set new benchmarks
for performance, both measured and audible, at this affordable
price point. Unless you have power hungry speakers, listen at
dangerously loud levels, or have a very large room, the C315BEE
is likely to be all the amplifier you’ll ever need. Fundamental
specifications for noise, distortion, power, stereo separation,
and volume control tracking, are all class leading. Slightly more
esoteric measurements like transient intermodulation distortion,
dynamic crossover-notch distortion, power supply rejection and
square wave rise time would be impressive on an amplifier costing
many times its modest price.
The sonic result of this high technology is a relaxed and inviting
sound that digs out the subtle details in your favorite recordings
and presents them across a panoramic stereo sound stage. The
impressive dynamic power reserves make the C315BEE sound
both articulate and alive. The silent background and low distortion
gives a sense of solidity and presence to your music and brings
out the best your loudspeakers have to offer.
