"The Thor Monoblocks were conceptualized to provide a lower priced entry to the VERITAS Monoblocks while retaining as much as possible of the VERITAS Monoblocks. In creating these units, the power and the size were considered independently and coincidently ended up being about half the price and half the power. When completed the Thors retain between 75% to 80% of the VERITAS Monoblocks characteristics.
The design was to still use Class D and very clean power supplies in which an SMPS power supply was selected. The original boards are modified and the modifications were decided on by using focus groups that helped with the voicing of the Thor Monoblocks. The base technology is the UCD from Hypex with 75% of the Ncore technology implemented in this. This is then further modified by Merrill Audio for the final product.
The chambered Chassis is made from Aircraft grade Aluminum. It is CNC’ed out from a solid block of aluminum, then painted with high gloss Black car finish and baked. (The limited edition Pearl White Monoblocks were double baked). While it is small, the chassis is designed for good airflow to keep the internal operation cool." - Merrill Audio
