WE 91E Amplifier Announced
As part of our continued observance of the WE 300B vacuum tube’s 80th Anniversary, we’re announcing to the audio world a brand new amplifier, the WE 91E. The 91E is itself a celebration of the 300B, which is popular today for its many high-end audio applications.
The single-ended, integrated amp will unleash the triode, pushing more than double the conventional 7-8 watts per channel while remaining well within safe operating areas. This never before seen level of performance is achieved by a bold and creative circuit topology which gives powerful, balanced playback with low noise and zero negative feedback. Within its elegant, yet simple enclosure design is a Class A, constant current source (CCS), parallel feed circuit board, a toroidal power and output transformer, microprocessor controlled bias, and a moving coil, moving magnet phono stage.
The 91E not only celebrates the 300B, but the 91A, its famous predecessor. President Charles Whitener says, “I imagined this amp as a modern tribute to a great piece in Western Electric’s rich product lineage. Our lead engineer brought decades of experience to make something really special and unexpected. It’s a perfect marriage between old school and new school.”
