unique Nelson Pass design

[meracus]

dear all
I have purchased an s160 and cannot find any info on it
spoken to Jon Soderberg about what could be needed to keep it alive
but apart from that nothing on the net
can anyone shed some light on the subject
regards
andre
ps : impulsive moment of present to myself .... or rather to my apogee stage/North creek x over

have a hunch that it can't be much different to rest of Sxxx series

Here is a page from the '91 product brochure.

Thanks Nelson
Much appreciated , one additional question , is the amp running partially on class A ?
Pardon my ignorance ( I’m a devialet owner !) does that matter re: sound quality ?
I’m setting up a vintage hifi system using a restored apogee
Regardsandre

All the Threshold AB amps ran a pretty high bias. I don't recall the
specifics of the S160 but it was probably an a amp or so, leaving
Class A into 8 ohms at about 30 watts peak.

Unfortunately , the amp in question turned out to be a scam running on German eBay !
Oh well , thanks for all your help , the apogee shall remain lying in state ..... for now
