Octave V 80 SE Integrated Amplifier

The Octave V 80 SE represents the pinnacle of Octave’s integrated amplifier range, distinguished by a completely new amplifier design built for absolute stability, control, and sonic refinement. A re-engineered driver stage, upgraded output transformers, and a more sophisticated power transformer form the backbone of its technical performance, while a new feedback loop ensures stability and linearity. Delivering up to 120 watts per channel with KT 150 or KT 120 tubes, the V 80 SE offers effortless dynamics, precision control, and unmatched ease of musical flow, capable of driving virtually any loudspeaker with confidence.

Designed as a true high-end alternative to separate pre- and power-amplifier systems, the V 80 SE is equipped with full-function preamp capabilities, offering a wide range of RCA and XLR inputs. Expansion options include an MM/MC phono board and compatibility with Octave’s proprietary Black Box and Super Black Box power supply upgrades. Unique to the range, it also features a discrete, low-distortion headphone amplifier, making it as versatile for private listening as it is for full-scale loudspeaker playback.

Beyond sound quality, the V 80 SE integrates Octave’s advanced Power Management and Protection Systems, including soft-start electronics to protect tubes, inrush-current protection, and an innovative Eco Mode that reduces heat and power consumption when idle. For convenience, its precision bias system allows users to easily fine-tune and experiment with tube types without technical expertise.

In use, the V 80 SE delivers a natural and warm midrange, finely detailed treble, and an inexhaustible sense of dynamics and control. Whether integrated into a high-end stereo system or used as part of a multichannel setup via its Home Theater Bypass, it combines reliability, versatility, and performance. With its refined finish, meticulous build quality, and signature Octave innovation, the V 80 SE is a powerful yet elegant amplifier that embodies the ultimate in integrated amplifier design for the most discerning music lovers.
