D'Artagnan | Soundstream Registry

The D'Artagnan 5.1 is a 6-channel amplifier, capable of producing 1000 watt of power. It had a suggested retail price of $1299. Released in the late 90's to early 2000 and only 100 were produced as it was considered a flagship, boutique, theater‑grade 5.1 amplifier. It is one of the rarest Folsom/Tempe‑era Soundstream amplifiers - even rarer than most Rubicon and Reference series models.

Released in the late 90’s to early 2000 and only 100 were produced.” soundstream That makes it one of the rarest Folsom/Tempe‑era Soundstream amplifiers — even rarer than most Reference‑series models. Why the production was so low • It was a flagship, boutique, theater‑grade 5.1 amp, expensive to build. • It used dual fully regulated MOSFET supplies, STACT, Hawkins, and Chassisink — all labor‑intensive. • Soundstream was nearing the end of its USA manufacturing era, so the run was cut short.
