Paragon Mono - Block P.S.E.

Paragon PSE Mono-Block Pair

Paragon Mono-Blocks

The Paragon is an unusual amp in as much as it doesn’t use any standard power output tube. Instead it uses 2 banks of four tubes paralleled up to provide a power output of 8 watts. Stemming from a design by Erik Anderssen the Paragon truly is “A model of Excellence!”

The paragon gives phenominal bass extensions and becuase of its circuit topology its very fast, the transients are very transparent. It has a big sound stage for such a reasonably priced amp.

The Paragon is a mono-block pair but for ease of display we have only shown one of these. There are versions available in either Push/Pull or Parallel single ended. There are 2 tube options too.. An inexpensive set or for improved quality NOS (New Old Stock) Jan Philips tubes or even NOS General Electrics.

We strongly recommend you audition this little mono-block pair

There are many upgrade options available and recommended for this amp, please see our list of upgrades.

 

A stunning sounding amp, worthy of praise indeed. The bass is very tight and precise, the timbre of response is ultra linear. Novel use of cascaded triodes. I like this very much. The value is extremely good when I compare it to amps of 3 and 4 times the price.”Good on ya boys” James English - HVT Australia
