A Artemis review here

 

[wizard]

Artemis is using 6 big blue caps and has 1 transformer.
It looks like 50V 180,000 uF - total 1,080,000 uF - 1350 joule.

Apollo doubles that to 12 big caps, 2 transformers and 2700 joule.

Artemis specs:

Output power - 750/1500/3000watt RMS 8/4/2 ohms
Input impedance - 10k
Frequency range - 1Hz - 100kHz
Damping factor - > 1000 4ohm
S/N - 134dB Aw, 128dB Uw
Weight - 70kg net each
Size - WxHxD - 440x255x586mm

Holy Wattage Batman!

Holy Wattage Batman!

That's only 1 horsepower at 8 ohms and only 4 horsepower at 2 ohms.

Angel Despotov pours water on them to demonstrate how indestructible they are.

I always wanted an amp that I could pour water on.

How often do your have to water it?

How often do your have to water it?

Whenever you are drunk.

 

[MarinJim]

Whenever you are drunk.

LOL. Surprise your friends by peeing on your amp!

Just watch the speaker connects in the back if you do!

Simply crazy/mind boggling!

Apollo doubles that to 12 big caps, 2 transformers and 2700 joule.

The cap size looks like a 76x140mm type, but instead of using big uF and "slow" ripple current caps I think AD uses smaller and "faster" caps.

For example this on Artemis
100V - 39,000 uF - total 234,000 uF - 1170 joule - RC 17
or
160V - 18,000 uF - total 108,000 uF - 1380 joule - RC 14
or
200V - 15,000 uF - total 90,000 uF - 1800 joule - RC 13

Comparison:
If Apollo uses 160V caps - 2760 joule

Krell MRA - 5400 joule
Boulder 3050 - 2900 joule
Boulder 2050 - 1130 joule

Well, that says a lot about how far over the edge DA wanted to push his MRA design...last produced in 2006 and still a beast in weight, power delivery (1600 watts/8ohms and always doubling), joules, etc.

Would really love to hear someday...

Reminds me of the quality of Angstrom of Italy (tubes galore).

Does anybody has own experiences with these amps?

 

[Peter Breuninger]

I am getting them in for review in mid April. They should be fantastic on the MBLs. They sure are drool worthy.
