Constellation Inspiration 2 Stereo Amplifier
Our price:£19,500.00
The Inspiration 2 Integrated distills our no-compromise technologies into a simple, single component most audiophiles can afford. And now, we’ve elevated its performance to even higher levels with our proprietary, effortlessly powerful C-SMPS power supply. This component measures just 5.5 inches high, yet includes all the core technologies our engineers originally developed for our Reference Series products. We’ve also added an integral headphone amplifier powerful enough to drive any headphones to concert-level volume.
An Inspiring Start
Our Inspiration 2 Stereo and Mono amplifiers distill the power and passion of our original amplifiers into a more compact chassis. And now we’ve added C-SMPS, the best amplifier power supply ever created. The Inspiration 2 amplifiers use our Balanced Bridged technology: a musical, single-ended amplifier module. To achieve the desired output, we add modules rather than increasing circuit complexity. The result? Ample power to drive any speaker with the subtlety of a small amplifier.
The Input Stage
The Inspiration 2 Stereo and Mono use the same Line Stage Gain Module input stage found in our top amplifiers. Hand-matched, low-noise transistors combine with a servo circuit that corrects any signal balance inconsistencies. The Inspiration 2 amplifiers’ Constellation Link interface connects to Constellation amplifiers to remove one amplification stage from the signal path, resulting in less complexity and more musicality.
The Circuit
The Inspiration 2 Stereo and Mono employ a balanced configuration, with separate amplifier circuits for the positive and negative halves of the audio signal. Other balanced amps use N-type transistors for the positive half of the circuit and P-type transistors for the negative half. Our Balanced Bridged configuration uses only N-type transistors, so both signal halves pass through the same circuitry, and even the softest musical details are preserved.
The Result
We like to think of the Inspiration 2 amplifiers as distilled versions of our larger models because the circuits and the core design philosophy are the same. They’re a perfect example of why our approach to amplification works so well. We didn’t have to redesign the amps to make them smaller; we just reduced the number of modules and made the power supply well, let’s say, a bit less overbuilt. When you hear what the combination of our innovative audio circuits and revolutionary C-SMPS power supply achieves, we expect you’ll be as astonished as the reviewers and showgoers who experienced the debut of these designs. The Inspiration 2 amplifiers may be smaller in stature, but their musicality and emotion are undiminished.
