MK Audio, LLC

The Harmony Series is designed for the discerning music lover who wants the ultimate in sonic
purity with a presentation that is harmonically rich and with endless depth and three-dimensionality.
The HS-500 mono power amplifi er is the fi rst offering of the “Harmony Series” from Arion Audio. The HS-500 uses a
composite of vacuum tube technology and high-speed pulse-width modulated switching output stage technology. With
500 WPC into 8 ohms and 1000 WPC into 4 ohms, the HS-500 can power even the most demanding loudspeakers with
ease. The HS-500 is equipped with both a balanced and single-ended input. Input and output connectors are high quality
gold-over-copper construction. A 15-amp IEC-connector is provided.
The solid state section of the HS-500 can be left ON due to its low idle power usage. Even though the input stage vacuum
tube is set to run conservatively within its operating range, an input stage on/off switch is provided on the front panel.
Selecting to turn off the input stage when the HS-500 is not in use will maximize vacuum tube life. This insures the best
performance for a long time.
Harmony Series, vacuum tube driven, cool running, high output, solid state high-speed pulse-width modulated switch-
ing output stage power amplifi ers go beyond description. Detailed, extended, grain-free top end,

Thanks to Trung, I had a chance to her these amps in my home, with my Salon 2's. They might be the best class D amps I have ever heard. I didn't get a chance to hear the tube/class D hybrid that Joe is showing here, but I sure would like the chance to !!

We featured the latest Arion HS 500 amps with Duelund CAST output caps at the Capitol Audiofest in the Triode Wire Labs Room. Rollo Audio who is the NY dealer for Arion set up the system. The GTA Audio Works speakers were sounding really good. We offer in home demo.

Both rooms with Arion, Dodd, and GT Audio speakers ( GTA 1 & GTA 2 ) were among the best sounding ones at the CAF. If you are a resolution/inner detail listener, and you want dynamic excitement, yet easy to drive, take a listen to these components, their synergy kept both rooms busy all 3 days.

Interesting Mark. I've never heard of these amps. Did they do a good job with the Salons?
