Octave MRE 220 SE Mono Power Amplifier (Pair)
MRE 220 SE: rock solid and yet flexible After eleven years, and after extensive technical development projects at Octave, it was time to further adapt the MRE 220 mono power amplifiers - the rock in the surf - to the higher demands of modern loudspeakers. Long listening sessions led to the solution of an adjustable damping factor. The new MRE 220 SE damping factor can now be flexibly adjusted to ideally suit the respective speaker - resulting in rock solid reproduction quality with virtually any loudspeaker. The MRE 120 received critical praise upon its introduction and for the 10 years it was in production. In 2004, it was replaced by the MRE 130 after a decade of experience and further development of the core MRE 120 design. The MRE 130 made improvements in detail retrieval and stability through refinements in its circuitry, most critically, in the output stage. Nearly another decade later, a major overhaul of the MRE series was undertaken based on the newly-developed KT 120 power tu
