The problems faced when crafting a new power amplifier are manydelivering sufficient power, control, frequency extension,and dynamics while maintaining a perfectly layered soundstage under the most complexmusical passages.

All amplifiers sound different. What determines sound quality are the components and topologies of the amps input voltage stage and output current stage. Each section should complementthe other. Between them, the amp develops its sound.

Stellars design imperativesaffordable pricing, and uncompromised sonicswere major challenges solved by the invention of a unique new circuit christened the Analog Cell.

Stellar engineer Darren Myers had planned from the outset to take advantage of Class Ds high current, low distortion, ruler flat linearity for the output stageknowing full well it is the input stage that determines sonic character. This critical interface between preamplifierand power amplifier is where Stellars magic would be unveiled; where Myers could lavish upon the music the sweet, tube-like quality of Class A biased MOSFETs. His challenge was to synergistically marry both input and output topologies, for which heinvented Stellars Analog Cell.

The Analog Cell is the heart ofthe S300s musicality, where richly overlayed layers of musics inner details are preserved even in the most complex orchestral crescendos. The Analog Cell is a proprietary, fully differential, zero feedback, discrete, Class A MOSFET circuit, hand-tuned to capture the smallest micro dynamics without sacrificingthe loudest macro dynamics music has to offer.
