The Pathos line of fine Italian hand-crafted stereo amplifiers have won over the international audiophile
community with state-of-the-art reference amplifiers. The Classic One project was initiated to transfer,
in a more affordable amplifier, all the know-how and expertise acquired developing reference products.
Classic One represents a new standard in its price category: it successfully blends in a single chassis
a preamplifier and power amplifier, completely separated from each other and provided with their own
individual power supplies.
The Pathos pre-stage - or, better, the preamplifier - is purely tube, balanced, pure Class A,
extremely low noise, with high intrinsic linearity and without any feedback.
It provides an exquisitely tube sound in terms of transparency, air, harmonics and refinement
in one word, musicality.
The Pathos power stage is a solid state power amplifier, high bias current, Class A/AB in order to
adequately drive every load. It provides the sound with speed and dynamics, without influencing
the tube nature of the sound. The volume control is motorised and remote controlled; the remote
itself is of solid wood. Power supplies are over-dimensioned and stabilized. Selected components,
pure silver Pathos signal cable wiring, gold plated terminals, high quality materials, and
refinement at its highest standard are additional benefits provided with the Classic One.
Together with such sound performance and overall quality, the Classic One is offered at a price that
clearly demonstrates a philosophy of value for money. This all possible thanks to an aimed design
approach coupled with extremely accurate engineering and superior aesthetic form.

Pathos’ designers regard every new project as a big challenge regardless of the targeted retail price.
And this is only natural since they have to face reference machines such as the multiple award-winning
Pathos creations TT (formerly Twin Towers), InPower and InControl. That’s why, after almost two years of
design, prototypes, testing and listening, the new Logos integrated amplifier finally went as close as
possible to the peerless quality provided by our proprietary INPOL technology.
The Pathos Logos is a two-in-one machine that combines pre- and power amplification stages in a common
chassis. The electric network has been laid-out in a feedback-free ‘natural’ way according to the fundamental
principles of the Pathos philosophy. The pre-amplification stage is entirely tube-based, balanced,
operates in pure class A and is powered by a dedicated stabilised power supply. The digital 100-step
volume control system is 100% resistive thanks to an integrated network of high precision, laser-trimmed
resistors that guarantee perfect interchannel balance. The input selector is operated through high-tech
miniaturised relays, originally developed for very high frequency telecommunication applications.
The output stage is true dual-mono and outfitted with oversized transformers and power supplies
to deliver high current into even demanding loads. This stage ensures great energy for superior
dynamics and punch, without affecting the warmth, naturalness and musicality provided by the tube stage.
Finally, flexibility is provided for with 5 RCA and 2 balanced XLR input pairs, a two-digit LC
display and fully remote controlled functions over volume, mute, input selection and LCD brightness.
