The Rite of Passage Monobloc amplifiers are indeed passage into a higher realm of audio performance. Harmonic thunder in a bottle, these amps deliver the musical goods unlike any other large amplifier. Unconstrained dynamically the Rites allow music to emerge with uncommon grace, speed, control and finesse. The Rites are designed to function in large scale systems and couple with even the most demmanding loudspeaker to yield truly "great" realization of any musical program. If your system and room are capable of this level of performance, these amplifiers are the stuff of legends. Beginning with a Golden Ear award from the Absolute Sound in Dec. 2001-Jan. 2002, and still being discussed, the Rites are to receive a full review in an upcoming issue of The Absolute Sound.
Rites are available in standard construction or music wood with automotive finish.
