I have the S/300 series I. It weighs 25,5 kilo according to the manual. The inside looks like this:

Underneath the shielding there are two 700 W toroidal transformers. It utilizes 14 transistors per channel and two 60,000 uF powercaps. The 'optical bias' version is a mk. II , although there are mk. II's without optical bias. I'm guessing they will have the same specs.

It looks almost identical to the inside of my Nak PA7AMKII!

I heard one powering a set of Klipsch Jubilees last month. :yes:

Man Threshold stuff is amazing! I had an uncle who bought a threshold system in the 90's , also had the big Infinity kappa 9's, man that system was what got me hooked on hi-fi. I have been waiting for the right deal to come my way for a Threshold system, one day the dream will become a reality.

I have been saying this for a couple of years but mid 90's esoterica is the best deal in audio right now. its not really old enough for the vintage crowd and not new enough for the modern guys but is ripe for the picking. congrats on your new amp!!

Damn straight. My system is slowly moving away from pre 80's and evolving into 90's hi-end. With today's acquisition of my (can't belive I'm saying this) IRS Betas another Threshold acquisition is near.

Thanks for the congrats.
