Zion Monos

***Please note that these come as a pair.  Like many ampsandsound creations, the Zion, named for Zion National Park, began with a classic design known for its fidelity and absolute bandwidth from Stu Hegman of Harmon Kardon. Using the Citation V circuit as a touch point, we sought to find refinement through improved transformers and power supply optimizations. The Citation V may appear as a simplified Citation II which serves as the bases of our Arch Push-Pull Flagship, but it still represents a high degree of sophistication and understanding of push pull amplification. It differs form the Arch with fewer gain-stages, shorter signal path and less feedback. This reduces output power, and linearity but adds a degree of humanity. Where the Arches are source accurate in reproduction without grain or sibilance, the Zions add a hint of warm while maintaining the all the detail and scale. Zion’s genesis began with a blank slate knowing that the mechanical layout and power transformer were the
