Hybrid dual monoblock amplifier

HT-120

Tube soul. Absolute control.

Our reference. Two independent monoblocks in one chassis, each with its own 300 W toroidal transformer, fed by a class A tube input stage. Handcrafted in Poland.

  • Hybrid topology Class A tube input, solid state power
  • 2 x 120 W into 8 Ω, 180 W into 4 Ω
  • Dual monoblock Two 300 W transformers
  • Jantzen Z-Cap Coupling capacitors
  • Hand wired Built one at a time

The sound

Natural. Dynamic. Effortless.

The HT-120 sets out to disappear. A tube stage running in class A gives the music its body and its colour; the solid state output sections hold everything in place, so quiet passages stay quiet and loud ones never harden.

With 120 W a side into 8 ohms and 180 W into 4, it has the current to drive real loudspeakers in real rooms without ever sounding like it is working.

  • Rich, natural midrange from the class A tube stage
  • Deep, controlled bass
  • Airy highs without harshness
  • Effortless dynamics at any level
  • Fatigue free over long sessions

Inside the HT-120

Hybrid engineering. Timeless performance.

A dual monoblock design in a single chassis. Each channel gets its own 300 W toroidal transformer and its own power supply, so one channel can never rob the other.

The tube stage runs on stabilised heater and anode supplies of its own, and the mains arrives through EMI filtering and a dedicated DC blocker.

  • Tube input stage Two 6SL7 tubes in a custom designed SRPP stage, class A.
  • Solid state power stage Bipolar output devices in class AB, for grip and headroom.
  • Selected components Jantzen Audio Superior Z-Cap coupling capacitors throughout.
  • Clean mains EMI filtering, a dedicated DC blocker and digital management.

Reviews & Awards

The press has reviewed the HT-50 to date. These are reviews of that amplifier, not of the HT-120.

  • HiFi Pig

    Everything was there that you needed: bass power, treble detail, and a beautiful midrange.

    Janine Elliot November 2023

  • HiFi Knights

    One hell of an amp that outperforms most of those I know, and some more expensive ones too.

    Marek Dyba November 2024

  • Audio Muzo Fans

    A sound full of colour and natural dynamics, yet without the haze and heaviness so often associated with tubes.

Built by hand, heard for years

Craftsmanship without compromise.

Every HT-120 is assembled by hand in Poland by people who care as much about your music as you do. From hand wiring to the final listening test, we take the time the amplifier needs.

We build in small batches. Nothing leaves the workshop until it has been listened to.
