When you are unwilling to compromise performance we offer the BHK 300 Signature 300 watt Monoblock power amplifiers. They are among a rare handful of amplifiers capable of uncovering music's rich tapestry in a lush, uncompromised, effortless presentation.

The audio performance and build quality of the Signature 300 series has been refined, honed, and polished over the past half century of design work by industry legend, Bascom H. King. They are mono block amplifiers that produce 300 watts into 8Ω, 600 into 4Ω, and a whopping 1,000 watts into 2Ω. The BHK Signature 300 Monoblock designs are built upon two proven topologies: a zero-loss vacuum tube input stage coupled to a high bias differentially balanced MOSFET output. If you are uncomfortable with compromise and seek the finest performance, reliability, and build quality, the BHK Signature 300 series is a perfect fit that can drive any loudspeaker to musical perfection.

DESIGN

The hybrid vacuum tube/MOSFET design of the BHK Signature Amplifiers provides stunning musical performance through any loudspeaker.The Signature 300 Mono doubles the output current of the 250 Stereo, and doubles the tubes, power supplies, transistors, capacitors and resistors. The results are hard to put into words. Your first listen to these extraordinary monoblock amplifiers will likely be a revelation. For perhaps the first time you'll discover all that has been long buried in your musical collection. You'll know this amp was the right choice from the very first note you play.

APPLICATION

The BHK Signature 300 Mono Amplifier is one of only a rare handful capable of uncovering music's rich tapestry in a lush, uncompromised, effortless presentation. If you haven't any barriers to perfection, the BHK 300s are perfect for any size system in the world, producing a minimum of 300 watts into 8Ω, a minimum 600 watts into 4Ω, and an astonishing 1000 watts into 2Ω. Enough linear amplifier power to bring life to music as you've only experienced with live music.

Parttime Audiophile, Rafe Arnott

I’ve heard this amplifier in several systems…over the past couple years, and came away incredibly impressed on every occasion. An effortless presentation to every recording is a hallmark of PS Audio in my experience, with speed, dynamics, and an innately natural, unforced sound to everything from heavy metal, to intimate acoustic guitar solos. King seems to have harnessed the best of both worlds (tubes, and solid state) in this design, and the fact that it’s made in the USA by real people, for living wages is further proof of company founder Paul McGowan’s commitment to delivering high...

The Absolute Sound, Anthony Cordesman

They have truly exceptional imaging, depth, and natural soundstage width, and they really can get the best out of the naturally miked and produced recordings that have a real-world soundstage. The 300s’ dynamics are extraordinary, particularly in the lower octaves that seem to be in even more demand for audio reproduction today than the upper octaves. READ MORE

Stereophile Magazine Michael Fremer

The fact is, the BHK Signature 300 is a powerful, nimble-sounding amplifier that immediately drew me in with fast, punchy, tight bass; rich, liquid mids; and delicate, transparent highs—all effectively well integrated into a coherent whole. READ MORE

Hifizine Patrick Dillon

When PS Audio decided to re-enter the amplifier market with a statement product, I am not sure even Paul McGowan anticipated what would result. That they have succeeded in creating something special is clear from my listening. The process of bringing on board a legendary designer and allowing him freedom to design to a sonic target while keeping costs in the realm of reasonable (ahem!) is more than mere advertising hype. At nearly $15k for a pair, these are not highly affordable products but they are superior to any amp I’ve heard in my room, or most other rooms for that matter. How many... READ MORE

Soundstage! Erich Wetzel

PS Audio’s BHK Signature 300 Mono amplifiers produced wonderfully clear sound in my room, yet with a tangible, 3D quality that gave the music emerging from my speakers a bit more body -- which I really enjoyed. Their soundstaging was exceptional, and they proved unflappable throughout the listening period, despite being challenged with complex music and punishing volume levels. Their treble response was clean without sounding edgy, allowing me to enjoy longer listening sessions than I have with any other amp. I also appreciated the BHK Signatures’ tight-fisted bass reproduction, which...

Hi Fi Statement, Dirk Somer

The BHK Signature 300 Amplifier are nothing less than world-class amplifiers: Sonically they leave nothing to be desired, as they combine in perfect style power and control with softness and emotion. And PS Audio circuit Bascom H. Kings packed in simple and well designed housing instead of aluminum sculptures, the Monos can decorate with an unprecedented low price / sound ratio: downright reasonable dream amplifiers!

Fedeltà del Suono Giulio Salvioni

The PS Audio BHK Signature 250 has everything that one would expect from a power amplifier of this category: it’s powerful, fast, accurate, gentle regarding its ability to convey the harmonic complexity of even the most difficult audio tracks and has a great dynamic reserve. Its ability to recreate a coherent and well focused soundstage puts this product among the best power amplifiers regarding this parameter. I could go on for a while extrapolating specific parameters and writing about how well the BHK behaved respect to them, but it would be useless. In my opinion the ultimate reason of... READ MORE

Yes, it's all things you'd expect from a top flight amplifier: powerful and precise, fast and dynamic, generous in its staging, and close in its focus. But its ability to translate those elements into a musically coherent and consistently compelling performance is what sets the BHK Signature apart from any other power amplifier I've listened to. I sense a classic in the making.
