Nothing sounds better than the original

OCTAVE made in Germany tube amplifiers are high-end amplifiers. The goal of every high-end device should be the most lifelike reproduction possible. However, especially in the power amplifier sector, this goal is difficult to achieve with classic tube technology. Modern high-resolution speakers require stable, broadband power amplifiers. Tube power amplifiers using classic technology are often overwhelmed here. The sonic result in the areas of dynamics, bass, natural fidelity and load stability falls short of expectations. The analysis of these properties led us to throw some essential components of classic tube amplifier technology overboard and replace them with new, modern circuits.

It makes no sense to optimize a system that is inherently limited – the limitation itself must be eliminated. This insight led to our complex amplifier technology. Depending on the task, Octave uses both tubes and modern semiconductor circuits. In this way, the strengths of the respective technology are used, which leads to the multiplication of the positive properties.
