Mytek is now also launching GaN based amps really exciting news.

EMPIRE MONOBLOCKS are half rack width (8.5 inch) , 2U tall (3.5 inch) monoblock power amplifier designed to match the Empire Streamer cosmetically and sonically to create the best ever sounding Mytek Electronics to be paired with the highest resolution monitor speakers.
The heart of Empire Monoblocks is the newly designed Mytek Ganfet Power Module, the power amplifier stage utilizing the newest range of ultra fast Gallium Nitride transistors.
Because of the wonders of GanFET technology, distortion resulting from transistor switching are reduced by magnitutedes, thus allowing a very gentle negative feedback and triode like behavior of the output stage transfer characteristic. The resulting sound has a silky top and beautiful midrange with a 3D sound stage and detail, just like with the best tubes, yet it retains
the tight bass, control and dynamics of a large transistor amplifier.
