At this year’s High End trade fair in Munich, Octave Audio proudly unveils a groundbreaking addition to its line of high-end audio equipment: the Jubilee Class A mono power amplifier. This new reference-level amplifier represents a significant milestone, bridging the traditional gap between push-pull designs and single-ended Class A concepts, delivering an unprecedented level of musical fidelity.

A New Milestone in High-End Audio: The Jubilee Class A

Octave’s latest innovation, the Jubilee Class A, is designed to embody the pinnacle of musical expression. It is a monaural power amplifier that combines the warmth, emotion, and nuance of tube technology with the control and reliability of modern semiconductor engineering. The result is a device that elevates the listening experience, offering a new standard in high-fidelity sound reproduction.

Bridging Tradition and Innovation

For decades, Octave has been celebrated for its mastery of tube amplification, renowned for conveying the emotion and soul of music with depth and natural warmth. However, traditional tube designs often face limitations such as lower output power, higher distortion, and stability challenges. Octave’s innovation lies in seamlessly integrating tube and semiconductor technologies to overcome these constraints.

The company’s push-pull amplifier designs have long been valued for their power and control, without sacrificing the unique character that makes tubes so beloved. Building on this legacy, founder and chief engineer Andreas Hofmann embarked on a journey to develop a single-ended Class A amplifier that maintains the musicality of tubes while offering greater power and stability.

The Evolution of Octave’s Single-Ended Concepts

Starting with the V16 Single-Ended Class A headphone and loudspeaker amplifier, Hofmann explored the potential of low-distortion, high-output single-ended designs. The V16 set the stage with its remarkable sound quality and power for its class, paving the way for more ambitious projects.

Next came the Jubilee 300B mono power amplifier, which introduced innovative features such as a dedicated AC filament heater circuit and a massive, silent transformer operating at 7Hz. These advancements eliminated power line hum and maximized the venerable 300B tube’s performance.

Following this, the V70 Class A pushed the single-ended concept into higher power territory within an integrated amplifier. Now, with the Jubilee Class A, Octave offers a dedicated mono power amplifier that sits comfortably between the powerful MRE220 SE push-pull models and the flagship Jubilee Mono Ultimate.

Is the New Jubilee Class A Better?

At Octave, the philosophy isn’t about creating a “better” amplifier but about realizing a clear vision: delivering authentic, emotional music reproduction. The Jubilee Class A is not merely an optimized version of previous designs but embodies a new approach born from Andreas Hofmann’s unique vision and technical prowess.

Every aspect of the Jubilee Class A, from circuitry to mechanical construction, was meticulously designed by Andreas and executed by his dedicated team in Karlsbad, Germany. Most parts are sourced locally or manufactured in-house, ensuring the highest quality standards.

Sonic Philosophy and Musical Excellence

Sonically, the Jubilee Class A was crafted to fulfill a specific role within the Octave portfolio. It aims to combine the musical finesse and smoothness characteristic of Class A operation with the endurance, control, and power typical of push-pull technology. The result is an amplifier that offers a harmonious blend of finesse, power, and control ideal for driving high-performance loudspeakers with rich bandwidth, dynamic range, and exquisite timbral detail.

This amplifier is not just about technical specifications; it’s about creating an emotional connection with the listener. When paired with suitable loudspeakers, the Jubilee Class A reveals music’s full expressive potential bringing finesse, power, and soul into perfect balance.

A New Chapter in Amplifier Development

More than just a new product, the Jubilee Class A signifies a new chapter in high-end amplifier design. It embodies a balanced synthesis of power and refinement, control and emotion, technical precision and musicality. For audiophiles seeking a true musical partner that can handle the demands of demanding recordings and high-resolution playback, the Jubilee Class A stands as a testament to Octave’s commitment to innovation and excellence.

My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
