Description
Power, elegance and grace. darTZeel’s NHB-468 monoblock amplifiers represent the pinnacle of the range.
NHB-468 monoblocks are the most powerful amplifiers ever designed and built by darTZeel. They are the culmination of nine years’ research and development.
NHB-468 mono amplifiers retain all the musicality of the original signal. The NHB-468’s immense power supply ensures that they can cover the full dynamic range, providing effortless delivery from a few milliwatts through to a whopping kilowatt of power.
“The darTZeel owners I’ve met seem to be a happy, enthusiastic group, satisfied with their purchases and with the sound produced by whichever darTZeel products they have. Count me among them. The new NHB-468 has made me even happier. This amp does what the NHB-458 does—just better. It’s got power to spare and sounds as if it’s just loafing, even on the most demanding material.” – Michael Fremer – Stereophile Magazine.
