The Jubilee Mono Ultimate
“Not an evolution, a revolution.
Octave is proud to introduce the revolutionary successor to its flagship Jubilee Mono SE amplifier model: the Jubilee Mono Ultimate, the new flagship of the Octave power amplifier range.
In 2000, the first Jubilee Mono represented a milestone for high-end tube amplifiers with an output of 250 W, immense power reserves and Octave Power Management for rock-solid performance and reliability. In 2016, design and performance were improved with the introduction of the Jubilee Mono SE (Special Edition) further developed: Eight KT 120 tubes generated an output power of 400 W per channel.
Now, in 2023, it was time for a new development: The Jubilee Mono Ultimate is the most sophisticated amplifier design in the company’s portfolio to date and features a variety of new technologies including eight KT 170 tubes with 440 W per channel and a gigantic “super transformer”.”
The Jubilee Mono Ultimate represents the pinnacle of modern tube amplifier design, offering extraordinary power, control, and refinement for the most demanding high-end audio systems. Built in Germany and engineered without compromise, these amplifiers showcase OCTAVE’s commitment to innovation and musical realism.
The OCTAVE V 80 SE
“The OCTAVE V 80 SE sets new benchmarks for quality and performance in the product category of integrated amplifiers. It is the crown of the Octave integrated amplifier range and shines with a completely new amplifier design. A new driver stage, upgraded output transformers, and a more sophisticated power transformer highlight the technical design, while a completely new feedback loop offers absolute stability. As a serious alternative to high end separate pre- and power-amplifier components, the V 80 SE is equipped with a wide variety of inputs, both RCA and XLR, and features full function preamp capabilities. A MM or MC phono board is optional. A connection for Octave’s proprietary Black Box or Super Black Box power supply capacitance upgrade module is also included.”
The V 80 SE is an ideal choice for listeners seeking reference-level integrated amplification with the signature richness and detail that tube audio enthusiasts love. Its versatile connectivity and advanced engineering make it equally suited for dedicated vinyl systems and modern high-performance listening rooms.
