Developed with CH Precision – Created through direct engineering collaboration between Wattson Audio and CH Precision, bringing reference-level Swiss amplification expertise into a compact, accessible platform.
Fully Discrete Class A/B Design – Uses a low-feedback linear Class A/B circuit with a fully symmetrical discrete amplification stage for speed, transparency, and musical control.
Reference-Grade Output Devices – Built around bipolar output devices derived from CH Precision’s M10 Reference Amplifier, adapted here for Wattson’s compact design philosophy.
External High-Current Power Supply – A balanced, regulated, and highly filtered 36V external power supply provides stability, dynamic authority, and composure across changing speaker loads.
Stereo, Mono, or Bi-Amp Operation – Configurable operating modes allow the Madison Amplifier to work as a compact stereo power amp, a mono amplifier, or in bi-amp systems as your setup evolves.
Balanced and RCA Inputs – XLR and single-ended RCA inputs make it easy to integrate into a wide range of systems while preserving the amplifier’s fully symmetrical circuit architecture.
Compact but Serious Power – Delivers 2 x 50W into 8 ohms, 2 x 75W into 4 ohms, and 2 x 100W into 2 ohms in stereo or bi-amp mode, with up to 150W into 2 ohms in mono mode.
Swiss Precision Build – Machined from solid billet aluminum for rigidity, shielding, thermal stability, and a refined minimalist appearance.
“The Wattson Madison Amplifier fuses power and poetry in equal measure. Its separate power supply ensures explosive dynamics, ultra-low noise, and remarkable composure across complex passages. Sonically, it marries tube-like warmth with transistor control, producing a soundstage both expansive and holographic. Effortless, musical, and unmistakably Swiss—it’s high-end audio refined.” - EDITOR'S CHOICE, THE ABSOLUTE SOUND
Listening Notes
The Wattson Madison Amplifier combines precision with quiet strength. It sounds clean, fast, and composed, with excellent control, natural tone, and the kind of effortless clarity that lets music flow without strain.
