Building on both a record of serious creative innovation and intensive product development and  refinement over a period of years, the current CAD-805  Anniversary Edition amplifiers are at the heart of what the  'High-End' means, and what it aspires to be. The 805’s stand alone and unique as a standard-bearer for the art and craft of true music re-creation. Superbly engineered and realized, designed with the ear of an artist and the insight of a master inventor operating at the highest levels of musical and  technical aesthetics, the 805s bring new meaning to the art of  critical listening.

The 805 is a 300SE with an afterburner. The 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 came about with the goal to take those years of practical field experience, and put everything in the kitchen sink- including the ability to switch from the 211 (output) tube to the 845 (output) tube.
