Trilogy 994
Mono Power Amplifiers
A zero negative feedback hybrid design, the 994 embodies much of the attributes of their highly acclaimed 995R mono amplifiers but in a smaller and equally distinct sculpted form.
Offering the listener 140W into 8 Ohms and significantly more into lower impedances, the 994 is eminently capable.
Again using the 6H6П in a grounded grid configuration driving Trilogy’s unique generous compound output stage.
As with the 995R, the 994 offers the ability to be operated in Class AB, Class A or ecoA modes.
Of course, a massive choke input power supply as one would expect.
Yet another Trilogy statement piece of form and function from the mind of Nic Poulson – made reality.
Conclusion of Alan Sircoms review
“No hair shirts Good preamplifiers are often the most ‘hair-shirt’ in approach.
The Trilogy 914 is a rare exception: a tremendous sounding preamplifier that allows a lot of user control.
But even the 914 pales compared to the 994s, which are some of the best-sounding power amplifiers I have ever heard, irrespective of price.
The combination works exceptionally well, too. I’m usually pretty good at second-guessing the price of a product based on its performance, build, weight and so on.
I’m generally correct within a ±10% margin.
So, here’s a perfectly good £25,000 preamp paired with a pair of £40,000 per channel mono power amps (which sound like £160,000 per channel mono amps with the wind in the right direction)… that happens to be £13,000 and £21500, respectively.
The Trilogy 914 and 994 amplifiers are the best little secret in the audio world.”

From a passion to remain true to the essence of music, and by keeping all the key design elements in harmony, they create products of true quality.
Look at the objects around you in your home or work place; the chances are much of what you see is the end result of derivative thinking.
By bringing a small improvement to what already exists; a commercial niche is filled and a small advantage over your competitors is gained.
They at Trilogy Audio Systems do things differently.
