Third generation, direct successor of the 15WS MK2 model. Excellent detail separation, wide sound stage. In a set with high sensitivity speakers will please a very demanding listener even if installed in a large room. Belonging to the Prestige series this unit comes in the Woodwind casing. It is fully hand-crafted, carefully finished product. We apply the point-to-point assembly, with no printed circuit boards (except the remote control module).
The most important features in the third generation:
- Apple TV remote control for volume changing in standard (a spherical remote control Prestige RCX is still available optionally)
- higher quality tube sockets in preamplifier module for better contact and increasing the ease of tubes assembly
- new polished stainless steel feet with a rubber oval anti-vibration and non-slip element
- Polish capacitors branded by Miflex in the audio circuit
- Capacitors branded by JJ in the power supply module
- new rear panel made with aluminium
- higher class of power tubes – Mullard
- solid, well constructed and versatile transport case

The sound is very revealing and, when setup well with the right speakers, very rewarding with a sound quality. […] The circuit, functional and style design are different to anything that has passed my way before.
