The JC 5 combines high power and ultra-high bias Class A\/AB sonic quality at roughly two-thirds the price of a pair of JC 1s. Drop the JC5 into your system and the room changes. Bass hits deeper without bloat, vocals float free of the speakers, and big crescendos stay calm and composed—power with finesse that makes everything feel more alive. Designed by John Curl, the JC5 focuses on what matters:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e400 watts x 2 @ 8 Ω RMS, both channels driven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600 watts x 2 @ 4 Ω RMS, both channels driven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1200 watts x 1@ 8 Ω, in bridged mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircuitry designed by legendary John Curl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-high bias Class A\/AB operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 watts per channel of pure Class A power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90 amperes peak current per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable with speaker impedance dips to 1.5 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced inputs with discrete circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHK Infinium, custom 5-way speaker binding posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutrik locking XLR input connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVampire gold-plated RCA input \u0026amp;
