[USER/DEALER INSTALLABLE OPTION]
The LS 100 is built in the same size enclosure as the KWA 100 amplifier and has the same lines and aesthetics, including backlit logo. Taller enclosure (5”) allows for greater range of rectifier tubes to fit inside the enclosure.
Sonically, the LS 100 offers a greater control, ease, musicality and resolution, all perfectly balanced for the ideal musical experience. Frequency response is flat from 20Hz to well beyond 100Khz. Soundstage is extremely wide and detail and microdynamics co-exist with a tube warmth and natural musical presentation that must be experienced!
Recommended Tube Upgrades for the LS100:
- Output Tube: Sophia Electric 6SN7 – Sophia Electric
- Rectifier Tube: Mullard, Amperex or Philips GZ34 Made in Holland.
