The STASIS-R 3.0 Stereo
Control Preamplifier is Threshold's latest application of the
technology first employed in Threshold's flagship design, the
STASIS-R 5.0. Like its more costly parent, the 3.0 is a
classic example of the fine craftsmanship that has been the
Threshold hallmark for 30 years. Striking a delicate balance
between art and technology, the 3.0 is a stunning performer
both in the lab, where it displays unsurpassed precision, and
in the listening room, where it shows off its unparalleled
transparency, detail, and depth of image.

The STASIS-R 5.0 is the
culmination of Threshold's years of research and development.
A truly balanced, fully remote controlled preamplifier, with
gain stages based on the highly acclaimed T2, the 5.0 is
arguably a benchmark against which other preamplifiers,
regardless of price or technology, must now be compared.

The STASIS 7.0 is a compact
version of our more powerful STASIS 8.0, yet it sacrifices
nothing when it comes to revelation of nuance and inner
detail. While its outer appearance may suggest an obsession
with solidity and power, the 7.0 shows its true sonic
character in the listening room, where it is a sweet and
detailed reproducer of music.

The STASIS 8.0 stereo power
amplifier represents the consummate balance of brute force and
nuanced control. To some, its appearance may suggest an
obsession with solidity and power. Its credentials in these
areas are formidable - and readily apparent on first listen.
High current capability, the
importance of which in providing bass extension and tight
control of the loudspeaker is often glossed over, is a quality
that STASIS amplifiers deliver in real-world terms. The STASIS
8.0, for example, is able to provide staggering amounts of
continuous current, enabling the 8.0 to drive the most
demanding and power-hungry loudspeaker loads, without strain
or stress. In this regard, not surprisingly, it is the heir to
Threshold's legacy of high current, no-holds-barred
performance. and is arguably Threshold's best stereo power
amplifier ever.

S/5000e
- Stereo Power Amplifier |
|
| |
The S/5000e represents a return
to one of Threshold’s most well-regarded traditional values:
prodigious power at an affordable price.
The S/5000e is the heir to
Threshold’s legacy of high-current designs that effortlessly
command and control demanding loudspeaker loads, delivering
the power needed for full revelation of dynamic contrasts and
bass extension.
But power is only part of the
S/5000e story. The amplifier employs minimal feedback,
attesting to its inherent stability and excellent open-loop
performance, and is direct coupled input to output, with no
capacitors in the signal path. Like all Threshold amplifiers,
it utilizes close-tolerance metal film resistors, and matched
JFETs. The result is superb open and airy resolution of
low-level detail — the subtle shadings that differentiate
musical performances.
The ability of the S/5000e to
reproduce transient attack, and to explicate complex musical
passages, confirms its heritage — flowing not only from the
famous Threshold designs of the past, but from today’s
remarkable flagship power amplifier, the STASIS 8.0.
The highly affordable S/5000e
brings Threshold’s acclaimed designs within easy reach —
it’s state-of-the-art that takes into account the state of
your budget. |

S/7000e
- MonoBlock Power Amplifier |
|
| |
The S/7000e combines one of
Threshold's most well-regarded traditional values--prodigious
power at an affordable price--with the features required for
Home Theater.
The S/7000e is the heir to
Threshold’s legacy of high-current designs that effortlessly
command and control demanding loudspeaker loads. But power is
only part of the story. As one would expect from its
audiophile pedigree, the S/7000e employs minimal feedback and
is direct coupled input to output. The result is superb
resolution of both musical scores and cinematic sonic effects.
The ability of the S/7000e to
explicate complex soundscapes confirms its heritage--flowing
not only from the famous Threshold designs of the past, but
from today’s remarkable flagship power amplifier, the STASIS
8.0. Although ideally a single S/7000e will be used for each
channel, the most typical 5.1 combination uses three S/7000e
amplifiers for Left, Center, & Right with one two-channel
S/5000e covering the rear channels. Both amps are equipped
with 12Volt triggers so that they may be controlled from the
processor. This "intelligent" trigger system also
allows them, when used in a multi-channel setup, to turn on
and off in stepped sequence.
The S/7000e now makes
Threshold the highly affordable state-of-the-art choice for
both music and cinema.
