Design

The hybrid approach used in the Stellar M700 power amplifier takes full advantage of the technology's capabilities. The optimized analog voltage is then converted into the high output current needed to effortlessly drive loudspeakers.

Application

The M700 is Stellar's flagship model. Rated at 350 watts into 8Ω and 700 watts into 4Ω, a pair of these amplifiers, positioned across any speaker, delivers the rich, room-filling, and satisfying power of two completely independent power blocks, with exceptional headroom. The M700 listening experience will have you tapping your feet and putting a smile on your face. Just one listen to a complex, loud piece of music, effortlessly reproduced by the M700 pair, will convince you that you've made the right choice.

Overview

Rated at 350 Watts into 8Ω and 700 Watts into 4Ω, the M700 combines the best of two worlds: ultra-linear, high-current Class D technology for the output stage and a discrete, MOSFET-based Class A analog circuit for the all-important input stage. The Stellar M700 captures the rich, full-bodied essence of recorded music and presents it to the speakers with authority and elegance, without ever a hint of harshness or unnaturalness. The M700 is faithful to the music like few other amplifiers. Listeners are consistently surprised by the breadth and depth of the M700's soundstage; its ability to preserve the finest details of reverberation, room acoustics, and musical harmonics; and its ability to capture the subtlest details of reverberation, room acoustics, and musical harmonics. by its authoritative presence without being intrusive; by its delicate handling of the finest nuances; by its authority in driving the speakers and reproducing even the most complex musical passages with ease.

The Analog Cell

Stellar's design imperatives – affordable price and uncompromising sound quality – were the main challenges solved with the invention of a unique new circuit, called AnalogCell. Nothing in power amplifier design is more important than the input stage when it comes to preserving the subtlest nuances of music. Recognizing that the input stage determines the sonic character, the AnalogCell was employed to preserve the rich details present in the music. The AnalogCell is at the heart of the M700's musicality, where the music's rich, overlapping layers of inner detail are preserved even in the most complex orchestral crescendos. As a proprietary, fully differential, zero-feedback, discrete, Class A MOSFET circuit, hand-tuned to capture the smallest micro-dynamics without sacrificing the most intense macro-dynamics music has to offer, the AnalogCell makes all the difference in preserving the magic of music.

Output Stage

The Stellar M700 features a massive power supply and a high-power, ultra-linear amplifier stage based on a modern Class D ICE module. Class D output stages offer near-perfect linearity, low distortion, and high efficiency. Modern Class D amplifiers, like the one used in the Stellar, extend high frequencies up to approximately 50 kHz. The limit of human hearing is 20 kHz, although most listeners rarely exceed this value. With its excellent frequency response, low distortion, high efficiency, high damping factor and a generous, powerful 700 watts of power into the most common 4Ω speaker loads, the M700 is simply breathtaking. The M700's extraordinary power fits perfectly into any speaker, large or small, offering enormous power reserves and impeccable sound quality for even the most demanding orchestral crescendos.
