NewClassic 275 v.2 power amp

The Parasound NewClassic 275 v.2 is a high fidelity two channel power amplifier.

A new classic in every sense of the word, the 275 v.2 is the most compact member of Parasound's NewClassic line of high end home theatre and two channel audio products.

Each of this cool-running power amplifier’s two channels can deliver 90watts into 8 ohms, 150 watts into 4 ohms (also 150 watts into 2 ohms when set up correctly) and 200 watts when bridged to mono into 4 or 8 ohms. This exceptionally rugged amplifier is equally capable of driving high quality home theatre and stereo loudspeakers, or chains of in-wall and ceiling speakers. The heart of this flexibility lies in the amplifiers design and high level internal components, and the fact that the power amplifier has been designed with Parasound's proven class AB amplifier technology. The amplifier benefits hugely from fully discrete circuitry with toroid transformers and an efficient, low heat design.

The NewClassic 275 v.2 is a great performer for low impedance loads as the unit has a dedicated impedance selector switch for 2 Ω operation, meaning that it can drive the most demanding of loads if required. If you are working the unit in a higher power set up the unit can be set to drive more power into single loads as it also has a dedicated switch for bridged mono operation as well.
