The MOON 861 is a
power amplifier with the pedigree of
the distinguished MOON 888 and the
wholistic design philosophy of the
North Collection. Its innovative
technologies define the pinnacle of
control and transparency, portraying
the richest tonal character and
deepest soundstage.
The ingenious new MDCA (MOON
Distortion-Cancelling Amplifier)
circuit resolves audio with the
purest detail and pace. Its power
supply boasts two 1,500 VA low-noise
MOON transformers and 228,000 uF
capacitance with unwaveringly stable
thermal equilibrium. At the flip of
a switch, the dual mono design
outputs 300 watts per channel into
8-ohm stereo loads, doubling into 4
ohms, or 800 watts into 8 ohms as a
bridged monoblock.
MOON engineers harnessed four
decades of research and development
to create the 861. Its overall style
and impeccable construction draw on
the uncompromising
888, while the iconic front panel
sports a subtle LED indicator for
refined feedback with MOONLink
technology.
The North Collection comes to
fruition with the 861.
