Technical Specs

With 200 W RMS (230 W peak) into 8 , scaling to 330 W at 4 and 400 W at 2 , the CTH-8550 MK II provides deep, unwavering dynamics. Its dual-mono design features separate toroidal transformers and Zeel 50 inputs for signal purity. A precision optical encoder volume control, remote-controlled plasma display, and optional MM/MC phono stages give granular control over performance. Audio specs include frequency response from 2 Hz to 200 kHz, THD <1% up to 77 kHz, S/N > 115 dB, and crosstalk better than 90 dBresults that reflect engineering dedicated to sonic fidelity.
