• 700 watts in bridged mono configuration
• Balanced circuitry up to the output stage
• 10-year warranty

-- Dan Davis, Soundstage Ultra Audio, on the MOON P5.3 Preamp and W5.3 Power Amp

This SE version uses MOON Bipolar output transistors with unprecedented gain linearity, resulting in improved bass response and even more accurate sonic reproduction. The SE version also offers tighter matching and tolerances for certain critical electronic parts.

Significant design features

• A 12 Volt trigger for remote operations
• A "no overall feedback" design resulting in genuine real-time amplification, a more accurate musical reproduction with respect to tonality, virtually non-existent intermodulation distortion and the elimination of common phase errors resulting from feedback
• An oversized power supply
• Custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss, yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor; the result is increased current-speed and better dynamics
• Balanced circuitry up to the output stage
• Class A output to 5 watts for greater efficiency
• Precision matched Bipolar output devices which offer superb linearity throughout the entire audio frequency spectrum
• A high damping factor yielding superior musical dynamics, improved signal speed and refined timbre accuracy
• A very short capacitor-free signal path for a faster transient response
• Accurate matching of the very finest high quality electronic components
• PCB w/ pure copper tracings & gold plating that yields low impedance characteristics
• Stable to any known speaker impedance
• Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations
• A symmetrical circuit design
• Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance
• Low operating temperature to ensure a longer than normal life expectancy
