Power Amplifier
The LAiV Crescendo CHORUS is a GaN-powered stereo power amplifier that delivers audiophile-grade performance in a compact form factor. In stereo mode, it provides 50W per channel (8Ω) through a single-ended amplification design that accepts both XLR and RCA inputs. Switch to bridge mono mode and CHORUS takes a single input, converts it into a balanced signal, and outputs 120W (8Ω) of true balanced power. For the ultimate listening experience, pair two CHORUS units in bridge mono mode for 120W per channel with complete left/right electrical isolation, eliminating crosstalk and delivering a wider, more precise soundstage.

Reviews
Anyone who says all amplifiers sound the same are just wrong. A pair of Choruses just replaced a popular, low-priced, mini monoblocks and the difference is night and day. Everything is better - noticeably better. Noise floor, bass control, clarity, soundstage, etc. Another winner from LAIV.
