About the Statement 450 iQ
The VAC Statement 450i iQ Integrated Amplifier sets a new benchmark for sound quality with its ultimate performance design. It conceptually integrates a Statement 450S iQ power amplifier (225Wpc into 8 ohms), Statement Line Stage, and phono stage with multiple inputs, variable gain, and adjustable loading. The unusual vertical form factor optimizes circuit placement and signal routing for purest performance. Dual-mono power supplies with six main transformers, fully balanced topology, and stick-wound EI core transformers with gel encapsulation ensure low noise and high regulation. Proprietary rectification and active stabilization enhance power delivery. The patented VAC iQ system maintains optimal tube bias continuously, reducing distortion, extending tube life, and alerting for replacements. Controls include power modes, mute, source selection (3 phono, 5 line, cinema direct), phono loading (50-1000Ω), gain (MC 68/62dB, MM 44dB), and volume. Renowned for iron-fisted bass, fast transients, dynamic contrasts, and timbral accuracy, rivaling solid-state amps.
