Wie viel Leistung hat die MOON 761?

200 Watt pro Kanal an 8 Ω und 400 Watt an 4 Ω, im gebrückten Mono-Betrieb 600 Watt. Damit treibt sie auch leistungshungrige und impedanzkritische Lautsprecher mühelos an – die Reserven sind eher für Kontrolle als für reine Lautstärke da.

Brauche ich für die MOON 761 einen Vorverstärker?

Ja. Die 761 ist eine reine Endstufe und braucht eine Quelle mit Lautstärkeregelung davor. Perfekt passt der MOON 791 aus derselben North Collection; grundsätzlich funktioniert jeder Vorverstärker mit Cinch- oder XLR-Ausgang.

Eignet sich die 761 für schwer anzutreibende Lautsprecher?

Ja, dafür ist sie gemacht. Der hohe Dämpfungsfaktor von 800 und die Dual-Mono-Bauweise geben dem Lautsprecher straffe Kontrolle – gerade bei grossen Standlautsprechern mit fordernder Impedanz bleibt der Bass präzise statt schwammig.

Wie viel Garantie gibt es auf die MOON 761?

Auf MOON-Geräte gibt es bei uns als autorisiertem Fachhändler fünf Jahre Garantie. Service und Reparatur wickeln wir über unseren eigenen Techniker und den Schweizer Vertrieb ab – ohne Umwege.

Warum die MOON 761 bei HD Zürisee kaufen?

Weil wir die North Collection kennen und wissen, mit welchen Lautsprechern und Vorstufen sie wirklich aufblüht. Wir beraten dich zu Raum, System und Verkabelung, liefern und installieren auf Wunsch vor Ort – und unser Techniker Mauri bleibt dein Ansprechpartner, lange nach dem Kauf.

The MOON 761 is a stereo power amplifier from the North Collection that combines 200 watts per channel with Simaudio's low-distortion MDCA circuit.

Hand-built in Canada, it turns the word "power amp" into a charming understatement: it delivers power, control and calm – so your speakers finally do what you bought them for.

Why the MOON 761?

Because its job isn't "loud" but "control". The true dual-mono construction separates the left and right channels right down to the power supply, and the MOON Distortion-Cancelling Amplifier (MDCA) corrects distortion outside the actual signal path. The result is a power amp that doesn't break a sweat on dynamic peaks – and simply stays silent through quiet passages. Via MOONLink it integrates cleanly into an existing MOON system.

What you hear

Bass that stays deep and defined instead of booming. A soundstage that opens up in width and depth, because crosstalk practically disappears. And above all: no strain. With a damping factor of 800, the 761 takes the speaker firmly by the hand – even when the music suddenly wants everything at once. Neutral, fast and assured, without the typical hardness in the treble.

Who is the MOON 761 for? (and who is it not for – honest take)

Ideal for anyone who already has a preamplifier – or is adding the matching MOON 791 – and wants to drive demanding floorstanding or compact speakers without compromise. It's an endgame purchase for the next ten, fifteen years.

Honest take: if you're looking for a ready-made all-in-one box with built-in streaming, this isn't it – the 761 is deliberately just a power amp. In that case, an integrated amplifier such as the MOON 641 is worth a look. And if you're running small bookshelf speakers in a 12-square-metre room, the 761 buys you more headroom than the room will ever call for.

Our verdict

One of the most honest power amps in its class: plenty of power, but no noise – instead calm, control and long-term assurance. If you want to properly future-proof your system once and for all, the 761 is a foundation that will probably outlast you.

What the trade press says: StereoNET Applause Award for the 791 + 761 combination – "…it's a bargain even at its elevated price." (StereoNET, 2023).

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the MOON 761 have?
200 watts per channel into 8 Ω and 400 watts into 4 Ω, and 600 watts in bridged mono operation. That lets it effortlessly drive even power-hungry, impedance-critical speakers – the headroom is there for control rather than sheer volume.

Do I need a preamplifier for the MOON 761?
Yes. The 761 is a pure power amp and needs a source with volume control ahead of it. The MOON 791 from the same North Collection is a perfect match; in principle any preamplifier with RCA or XLR output will work.

Is the 761 suited to hard-to-drive speakers?
Yes, that's exactly what it's made for. The high damping factor of 800 and the dual-mono construction give the speaker tight control – especially with large floorstanders with demanding impedance, the bass stays precise rather than loose.

What warranty does the MOON 761 come with?
As an authorised dealer, we offer five years' warranty on MOON devices. We handle service and repair through our own technician and the Swiss distributor – no detours.

Why buy the MOON 761 at HD Zürisee?
Because we know the North Collection and which speakers and preamps really let it shine. We advise you on room, system and cabling, deliver and install on site if you like – and our technician Mauri stays your point of contact, long after the purchase.
