ULTRA LINEAR POWER AMPLIFIER WITH GANFET MODULE
EMPIRE MONOBLOCKS are half rack width (8.5 inch) , 2U tall (3.5 inch) monoblock power amplifier designed to match the Empire Streamer cosmetically and sonically to create the best ever sounding Mytek Electronics to be paired with the highest resolution monitor speakers.
The heart of Empire Monoblocks is the newly designed Mytek Ganfet Power Module, the power amplifier stage utilizing the newest range of ultra fast Gallium Nitride transistors.

Because of the wonders of GanFET technology, distortion resulting from transistor switching are reduced by magnitutedes, thus allowing a very gentle negative feedback and triode like behavior of the output stage transfer characteristic. The resulting sound has a silky top and beautiful midrange with a 3D sound stage and detail, just like with the best tubes, yet it retains
the tight bass, control and dynamics of a large transistor amplifier.

 It's correct we had a period of transition between different contract manufacturers 2 years ago which caused all kind of delays, but the product were always high quality , they are innovative and sound great and that's why people bought them.

Did you or do you have any unresolved quality issues with us?

Mytek is another company with quality and aftercare issues. Would never own their products again. 

Mytek is now shipping the GanFET Empire Stereo Monoblocks. This is a $9995 extremely well built stereo power amp which can be used as stereo or two can be used as monblocks (biamp or bridge). At a recent listening session of DC HiFi Group the Mytek GanFET beat everything else that was there for its accuracy , precision but also tube like smoothness that lets you enjoy it for hrs without a hint of fatigue.

"The Class D GanFet Empire Amp exhibits a hybrid of tube-like, analog soundstage and a modern character of fast transients and bass extension that is oh so real," said DC HiFi Group Founder/President John Gatski. "It delivers all this without a hint of harshness or thinness — at any resolution.”

My Technics SU-G700 M2 uses GaNFET output devices and sounds heavenly for it. So, no, solid state is not yet a mature technology. Far from it.

With GaNFET coming onboard with lots of makes, it's a whole new ballgame.

All the best,

Yes, the Mytek amps are still not out.......suppose to be out last summer.  Maybe some? time this year?  Who knows.  Meanwhile lots of other great class D amps now out....New Purifi module, New Class D modules, Orchard Audio, AGD amps, Atmasphere amps.....and so it goes.

Mytek, this summer, is releasing a stereo 200W a channel GaN amp for $6K. The new Manhattan amp.

If that is too much then this month the Premium-Audio 200 watt a channel GaN stereo amp will be released for $699.


I love a Pass Labs high bias amps as much as anyone here, even had x260.5 monoblocks.
But they are quite big, need adequate cooling and a adequate budget.
These Myteks are not free either but hopefully gan can continue to improve with reduced cost. 
As there are not that many gan designs on the market yet I would consider the development interesting.

But if you have the means to go high bias class a, that's great.
Another Wonder of the Week product. Yawn! SS amplifier design has been a mature technology for several decades now. Will this new product surpass a Nelson Pass amp? I doubt it!
