Boulders are instilled with quality and value that transcend the passage of time?the prestige of an heirloom like a fine old Leica or your grandfather's treasured Rolex. Boulder electronics are transparent, accurate, fast, rugged, and reliable, with minimal distortion and noise, and absolutely no coloration or "Sound" of their own.

From the very beginning it was understood that low noise and the elimination of distortion were the primary goals in the 1050 design specification. Starting with the instrumentation-style input section, everything is handled in the balanced domain. From there the delicate music signal is handed off to Boulderfs own 983 voltage gain stage for the first round of amplification, the 983 having its roots firmly planted in the renowned and fully discrete 993 gain stage used exclusively in our 2000 Series products.

Capable of outputting a bruising 300 watts of power into any load, the 1060 has enough power to reproduce the most enormous peaks while still maintaining the clarity and control needed to separate the dialogue and details that make the emotional impact of the private home theater experience so much more than just gwatching a movie.h. The impact on sound quality is profound.Monumental reductions in distortion mean pitch and definition are practically perfect. The mechanically locking chassis rejects external noise and interference.

The 2050 is an immense piece of audio engineering. The minimalist shape is pure functional architecture. Despite standing an imposing 10.75 inches tall, 18 inches wide and nearly 27 inches deep, the 2050fs exterior remains understated. Only a single, hand-polished stainless steel button appears on the front panel. 1000 watts of continuous power into an 8 ohm load. Peaks of 2000 and 4000 watts into 4 and 2 ohms, respectively. A signal-to-noise ratio of 135dB. Eighty output devices per chassis. Forty-eight distributed filter capacitors. Total harmonic distortion levels never exceeding .0025% at any frequency in the audio spectrum. A standing weight of 240 lbs. A potential current draw approaching 30 amperes.

The 2060 derives its core abilities from a thoroughly uncompromising design: the 993 gain modules, encased and potted transformers, eighty clamped output devices, forty-eight distributed supply capacitors, automatic load-sensing full Class A biasing, noise-free balanced input buffering, exhaustive mechanical resonance damping, intelligent power up and protection circuits, monitoring and control via Boulder Link. Everything thatfs crucial for the ultimate in stereo amplification is here.

At first, the 850 seems very different. Its appearance is simple and the
complete chassis is only one-half as wide as a traditional amplifier. This
uniquely small footprint lets it work ideally in places where conventionally
sized monoblocks won’t. Upon closer inspection, though, the 850 is most
certainly a Boulder. Its diminutive size belies a muscular powerhouse of an
amplifier: The 850 can provide 200 watts of continuous output into any
load for immense control during even the wildest musical swings. Play
something dynamic and you’ll hear this authority at work, providing the
kind of rhythmic response you get lost in with the energy of foot-tapping
music.
Even more impressive, the 850 accomplishes this delivery of power while
maintaining refinement, delicacy and nuance. The very intent of the
performers is conveyed. Layer upon layer of the music’s information and
detail become apparent, even in recordings you’ve heard hundreds and
hundreds of times before.

The 860 Stereo Power Amplifier is part of Boulder’s unrivaled lineup of
power amplifiers. Each was created with the same principal goal in mind:
the most accurate high-performance audio possible so that your
cherished music and movie collections will sound exactly as the people
who made them intended.
All of the traditional Boulder hallmarks are here, from input to output and
everywhere in between. Every element of the 860’s design fulfils a
function. From the three-stage instrumentation-style input circuitry to the
robust power supply. Through the linear output stage and ending with the
solid, wing nut binding posts and the sophisticated microprocessor
controlled protection circuits that keep it all perfectly under control.
In every respect, the 860’s design is unmistakably advanced and
purposeful because its form follows function. And all the while it remains
distinctly a Boulder.
