The Argus Reference power amplifier from Audire is a massive, no holds barred, ultra high end amplifier  measuring in at  19" w X 13" h X 36" d, hand made using a modular mono block construction and  featuring cast heat sinks, and a 1 inch thick front panel, all made from aerospace grade aluminum.   The pcb tracks and solders are silver and point to point wired with tara labs internal wiring is used. The signal path components are of the highest quality sourced from duelund and mundorf. The power side components are sourced from mundorf. It also features fully balanced dual mono operation, with a power transformer which is overrated four times (4X power transformer rating). The power supply wiring is done with 2 gauge 99.9% pure copper  (with an option of copper, silver and silver-gold at zero gauge). This amplifier is highly biased CLASS A amplifier with 1100 W per channel consumption. IEC connectors are provided by FIM Audio, and Cardas Rhodium plated connectors are used. Further features for this amplifier include delayed on, speaker protection circuit, dc protection circuit, slow blow fuse with and optional MOV and a fully featured audiophile grade power conditioning unit, with an audiophile grade isolation transformer and Q controller. The amplifiers are also supplied with custom made proprietary isolation platforms with and extremely low resonance property, with an option of pnuematic levitation platforms (with a resonant frequency of less than 2 Hz).
