We started developing the Murano with the following premises:
• Outrageous
sound quality
• Convenience
• Impressive aesthetics
• Authentic High End pedigree.
Without preconcepts in mind, we focused our research on the finest technologies
at hand.
We put all our expertise in the Murano and the result
is stunning. This research leaded to a mixture of components from both
the golden era of vacuum tubes and the latest developments in solid state
devices.
The integrated amplifier topology, was the result of the convenience precept.
We believe that a great sound can be obtained from very well designed
electronics in one package.
The result, an hybrid amplifier with all the detail, delicacy and seduction sound valves can bring, together
with the punch and power obtained from the solid state output stage. With
its 35 watts per channel, it can drive with ease, both high efficient horns and the
ubiquitous bass reflex loudspeakers.
Its three inputs are commanded by relays placed right behind the RCAs
jacks, giving a trusty connection. The volume control was committed to
an audiophile grade Noble potentiometer, worldwide acclaimed for its sonic
excellence and linear tracking accuracy.
The audio signal is first treated in the valved pre-amplifier for a gentle
amplification, preserving all the details, microphonics and the richness
embedded in the music. The selected valves are the famous 6SN7-GTB,
one of the best sounding valves of all times. This first treatment is
the heart of a good result. We can assume that the configuration
chosen for the Murano is a killer and stands well ahead
of others we tried.
The output power stage, based on the Oberture Series integrated circuits, highly acclaimed in purists circles.
Successive refinements to the circuit, resulted in increasingly better
sound.
Finally,
the style design was focused on fulfilling the third precept:
“Impresing aesthetics”.
Since we are convinced that the audio gear should be in harmony with all
the furniture in the house, the Murano is handmade using fine South American woods.
The Stainless Steel blends with the wood in a perfect mix, that resembles
old traditional craftsmanship with modern materials and aesthetics tendencies.
