German-made precision and uncompromising tube performance have arrived at LMC Home Entertainment, with OCTAVE now on display in LMC’s Scottsdale showroom. LMC is proud to be an official OCTAVE dealer, featuring the brand’s reference Jubilee line for Arizona audiophiles and music lovers to experience firsthand. Founded by Andreas Hofmann, OCTAVE has earned a reputation for exceptional sonic performance, reliability, and craftsmanship.

The Jubilee Mono Ultimate

Not an evolution—a revolution. The Jubilee Mono Ultimate is the revolutionary successor to OCTAVE’s flagship Jubilee Mono SE and the new flagship of the OCTAVE power amplifier range. In 2000, the first Jubilee Mono set a milestone for high-end tube amplifiers with 250 W of output, immense power reserves, and OCTAVE’s Power Management for rock-solid reliability. In 2016, the Jubilee Mono SE advanced the design with eight KT120 tubes producing 400 W per channel. Now the Jubilee Mono Ultimate—the most sophisticated amplifier OCTAVE has ever built—introduces eight KT170 tubes at 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 systems. Built in Germany and engineered without compromise, it showcases 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 among integrated amplifiers. The crown of the OCTAVE integrated range, it features a completely new amplifier design—a new driver stage, upgraded output transformers, and a more sophisticated power transformer—while a completely new feedback loop offers absolute stability. As a serious alternative to separate pre- and power-amplifier components, the V 80 SE offers a wide variety of RCA and XLR inputs and full-function preamp capabilities. An optional MM or MC phono board is available, along with a connection for OCTAVE’s proprietary Black Box or Super Black Box power-supply upgrade module.

The V 80 SE is an ideal choice for listeners seeking reference-level integrated amplification with the signature richness and detail that tube enthusiasts love. Its versatile connectivity and advanced engineering make it equally suited to dedicated vinyl systems and modern high-performance listening rooms.

Visit LMC’s Scottsdale showroom to experience the precision, power, and emotion of German-engineered tube audio.
