VAC Statement 450 monoblock power amplifier

For several years the VAC Phi 300 amplifier has been earning a reputation among perfectionists as of one the finest power amplifiers available, routinely matched with speakers in the quarter million dollar class. Lately we've been wondering, what would happen if we were to remove all of the constraints and design an amplifier without any regard to cost, without any regard to size, and without any regard to weight?

The answer is the VAC Statement 450.

The sound of the Statement 450 literally caused our jaws to drop. If the Phi 300 is one of the world's best amplifiers, then the Statement 450 is no less than the redefinition of the term "World Class". It is not a subtle improvement. It is a whole new world.

VAC President Kevin Hayes describes its sound as follows: "This is an absolutely startling jump in sound quality. The voices, images, and dynamics are as solid as a concrete wall, and there is an order of magnitude more detail being presented, which manifests not only in hi-fi terms, but in emotion and, for example, being able to picture the expressions that play across a singer's face. It's not a subtle difference, or even a moderate difference; it is a quantum jump."
