Creek Audio - Evolution 100P Power Amplifier Review: A Class-G Powerhouse for Audiophiles
In this Creek Audio - Evolution 100P - Power Amplifier Review, we delve into how Creek Audio has harnessed the advantages of a high-end Class-G circuit to deliver ultra-low distortion, exceptional open-loop gain and reference-grade sonic transparency. Whether you’re driving complex loudspeaker loads or bi-amping a flagship setup, the Evolution 100P stands ready to amplify your listening sessions with conviction.
Precision Engineering and Class-G Brilliance
The Evolution 100P’s core is its advanced Class-G topology. By dynamically switching between different supply rails, this design achieves significant gains in efficiency while maintaining the musicality and low THD (<0.002% across 20Hz–20kHz) that audiophiles demand. At its heart sits a robust 350W toroidal transformer, delivering clean, well-regulated energy to power the Sanken 15A output transistors with rapid bias tracking for impeccable control and resolution.
Speed, Control and Robust Current Handling
The Evolution 100P delivers >8.5A continuous current in stereo mode and a staggering >16A in bridged mono, with peak bursts exceeding 50A. This translates to effortless command over demanding speaker loads, from 4Ω floor-standers to 0.5Ω impedance swings. The amplifier’s slew rate of >30V/μS ensures transient events are rendered with true-to-life precision, while the output impedance of <0.05Ω guarantees tight damping and authoritative bass control.
Connectivity and System Integration
Flexibility is key for modern systems. The Evolution 100P features both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, allowing seamless switching and optimal signal integrity. Its switchable bridged-mono mode offers more than 400W into 4Ω for truly dynamic performance. Solid binding posts, an engraved aluminium front panel and a choice of black or silver finishes ensure the amplifier integrates beautifully into any setup.
