Description :
The Coda CX monoblocks use a similar output stage topology to that of the flagship Coda Amplifier System 200 whereby all output devices are paralleled rather than bridged to provide exceptional power and low-impedance drive capability. This is because the classic bridged-design drawbacks of decreased load intolerance and redistribution of harmonics towards the unfavorable odd harmonics. Differential JFET inputs and a new vertical Mosfet voltage gain stage provide exceptional rejection of noise and contribute to the circuit's inherent DC stability. This allows direct-coupling at the balanced input without servo circuitry. The CX monoblocks are packed outside of a sliding bias that stay in Class A for 50 watts before transitioning into Class B.
When played, the Coda CX monoblocks sound lively and imbued with freshness. They also revealed all their potential in terms of resolution and articulation. The CX is a big step foward to the S5 model in liveliness, spontaneity and tonal accuracy. Also, microdynamics are stunning with the CX. Subtleties can even be heard clearly. The CX monoblock amplifiers are the first fruits of Coda's 2 year "X" series development project and represent a defining example of superior sonics, attractive style, logical ergonomics, and robust engineering.
