XES Amplifier
The HornSolutions XES20 is a masterpiece of audio engineering, built on a fully discrete, symmetrical Class A topology that delivers an exhilarating 20W of pure Class A power into an 8-ohm load, with an astonishing 25A maximum output current. Don’t let the modest wattage fool you—this amplifier is a sonic powerhouse, capable of taming even the most demanding speakers with breathtaking precision and authority. Its innovative dynamic Class A design ensures seamless performance: when the standing current is pushed beyond its limits, the XES20 effortlessly glides—never abruptly switching—into a Class B-style operation, delivering the additional current needed with finesse and control.
Power Supply Excellence
The XES20 boasts a cutting-edge “dual mono split rail” power supply configuration, designed for uncompromising performance. Each channel is powered by its own massively over-engineered, independent power supply, ensuring exceptional power delivery, pristine stereo imaging, and rock-solid reliability. With triple the supply capacity, ripple and noise are minimized to near silence, letting the music shine through with stunning clarity. Enhanced transformer efficiency reduces noise and heat, while advanced filtering curbs switch-on surges, providing a robust and refined power foundation for the amplifier’s stellar performance.
