Bricasti M-25

General :

Bricasti USA manufactures high-end audio equipment for the studio. There is a good chance that CDs or LPs you own have been mixed using Bricasti equipment. Especially their digital reverb processors are world-renowned. Bricasti has been making high-end equipment for the home for about 10 years. The first product was the excellently tested M-1 DSD/PCM DA Converter. The first Dual Mono DA Converter in the world capable of decoding all digital signals. The second product from Bricasti is the M-28 Mono Power Amplifier. Then came the M-1 SE, the M-5 Streamer, the M-12 Source Controller, and of course the fantastically sounding M-15 Power Amplifier. We present to you here the new Bricasti M-25, the Dual Mono version of the Bricasti M-15. The Bricasti M-25 is the challenger to other top stereo power amplifiers such as the Soulution 710, the Spectral DMA300RS, the Mark Levinson 532 and other top power amplifiers.

Technology :

The M-25 is derived from the exclusive and outstanding Bricasti M-15 Stereo Amplifier and the M-28 monoblocks. The M-25 is primarily seen as the Dual Mono and more powerful version of the M-15. This starts with the M-25 in its chassis. The chassis is the foundation upon which everything is built. The Bricasti M-25 is entirely constructed from CNC-milled aluminum plates. This chassis is completely resonance-free and thus extremely stable, which provides great sonic advantages. This is often overlooked, but vibrations cause changing sound quality and must therefore be avoided. The Bricasti M-25 is then equipped with 2 enormous power supplies, completely separate, discretely regulated, and each part is supplied with its own independently regulated power supply line. The construction of the Bricasti M-25 itself is completely balanced, from input to output. The output power seems modest, 150 watts per channel at 8 ohms, but the Bricasti M-25 is very suitable for all speakers, even those with difficult impedance. The Bricasti M-25 delivers 2 x 600 watts continuously at 2 ohms, and you will be amazed by the power output and the composure with which this power is delivered. You can thus also drive very difficult speakers if needed. The chassis remains sufficiently cool under all circumstances.

Power and Current Settings :

The Bricasti M-25 can be set in 4 ways.

1. Completely off, main power button off. Unit is completely switched off. Consumption : 0 watts

2. Minimal standby. Main power button on. LED flashes quickly. Consumption : 1 watt

3. Normal standby. Main power button on. LED flashes slowly. Consumption : 80 watts.

4. On. LED lights continuously. Idle consumption : 170 watts. Unit plays music.

Inputs :

The Bricasti M-25 naturally has XLR inputs, and in this case they are true balanced inputs. The Bricasti M-25 is after all completely balanced from input to output. A set of RCA inputs are also at your disposal. If you want to use the RCA inputs, jumpers must be placed in the XLR input to prevent part of the amplifier from being inactive. The Bricasti M-25 has an adjustable, relay-controlled input sensitivity circuit, where you can optimize each preamp stage in 3 steps of 6dB. The Bricasti M-25 stands on special Stillpoints feet with ball bearings for decoupling.

Listening : The Bricasti M-25 has a clearly perceptible natural and analog character, and actually no distinctive "sound". The Single PSU M15 has all audiophile qualities such as openness, 3D soundstage, speed and purity, and a vibrant bass presentation, but does so without imprinting its own signature on the sound. The Bricasti M-25 sounds essentially the same, but has a bit more power and dynamics, more toward the M-28 monoblocks. The Bricasti M-25 does not participate in the trend of trying to sound as bright and as fast as possible, where the result is that the reproduction sounds glassy, thin, and sometimes even downright aggressive. That's not what Bricasti amplifiers are about. It's not about how much bass they provide, or how sharp the dynamics are. No, it's about how these amplifiers render music. An outstanding sound system gives you music that embraces you, not sound that attacks you. But dynamically the M-25 really holds its own. Extraordinarily good. Just play a drum solo, loud, and then you'll know what we mean. The Bricasti M-25 combines this fantastic quality with the audiophile characteristics of other modern top amplifiers, such as air, imaging and 3D soundstage. What we consider most important about the Bricasti M-25 is that

it is a rare audiophile amplifier that makes you as a listener calm and relaxed. Bricasti stands for stress-free sound of ultra-high quality.
