That's an S300 "Stasis". 150 W/ch, a very nice amp.

I have posted schematics of it at various times, and you can get them
from me by email.

This might be a bit OT but the Threshold Co. does uphold a webpage with all the old models! IMO they would be darf not to😉
Here is what the reputation builds on:

Raymond,

if you open the hood of the Stasis/300 and take a peek inside your Chiro-200 you should get a rough idea what to expect.

No offence, but the Dichiro/Insinilla designs were not exactly State of the Art.

Hey Jacco, what amp is that on your pic?

The Kinergetics Chiro 200 that Raymond has, read the 1st post.

Thanks, Jacco. Your post did not clarify....

The Kinergetics Chiro 200

Looks like a diy project.


found somebody selling one:

Big 2ch amplifier manufactured by Kinergetics Research. Premium build quality, 1kv toroid, huge power supplies. Unit weighs 42lbs. 140watts x2 @ an 8ohm resistance doubling to 280watts x2 into 4ohms.

This amp runs extremely cool, and sounds fantastic.
There are a few scratches on the top of the amp but the front faceplate looks great. All of the outputs and inputs are nice and tight and are 100% functional.

The Acurus and Adcom stuff simply cannot compete with the resolving power and neutrality of this amp. (I have had a 555 and A250) This is a killer amp that will drive almost anything.


MSRP: $1000

$320 shipped fedex ground.

sounds great!

Nope, it looks like factory made....
