The supply
The MA series power supply uses high-current toroidal transformers and a huge capacitor bank to ensure an uncommonly high amount of stored energy. This makes a critical difference in sound quality allowing incredible transient response and speakers motion control, even when driving 2 ohm loads.

The audio performance
To achieve its remarkable sound quality, the NEXT MA series output circuits were engineered as a high bandwidth, very low bias and feedback class AB or H (MA3200 andMA3800), using the highest grade linear output devices. This approach yields outstanding studio-quality sound accuracy and detail.
