The CAD-805 Anniversary Edition offers 50 watts per channel, Pure Class A Single Ended Triode
Mono Blocks with dual 6SN7 input stage, 300B driver stage tube, includes both 845 and 211
output tubes. It offers a user selector switch for the output tube, a Jaguar Anthracite black
chassis and top plate with clear coat finish, and an anodized aluminum front panel with a ZERO
feedback design.
The CAD-805 has been through many versions through the years, improving on what already
proved to be an outstanding power amplifier. The new design for the Anniversary Edition even
includes the ability to switch from the 211 (output) tube to the 845 (output) tube.
