Constellation Audio Inspiration 2 Stereo
Our Inspiration 2 Stereo and Mono amplifiers distill the power and passion of our original amplifiers into a more compact chassis. And now we’ve added C-SMPS, the best amplifier power supply ever created. The Inspiration 2 amplifiers use our Balanced Bridged technology: a musical, single-ended amplifier module. To achieve the desired output, we add modules rather than increasing circuit complexity. The result? Ample power to drive any speaker with the subtlety of a small amplifier.
