WSH-805 Classic - Integrated stereo integrated amplifier in dual-mono design
The WSH-805 Classic is the reinterpretation of our iconic flagship - a dual-mono stereo integrated amplifier that carries the unmistakable aesthetics and engineering philosophy of the analog hi-fi era of the 1970s into the present. With elegant American walnut side panels and finely crafted brass accents, the Classic version combines timeless beauty with modern precision. The characteristic audio architecture of the original model is fully retained, so you can enjoy an unadulterated, audiophile sound experience.
Timeless, high-quality design
The WSH-805 Classic was created to accompany you for decades. Inspired by the devices of the 1970s - the golden age of analog audio technology - it embodies the origins of classic stereo amplifier concepts that continue to this day.
The side panels made of solid American walnut give the amplifier natural warmth and a noble character. Brass switches, gold-colored displays and finely crafted controls underline the high quality of workmanship. These details are not just design elements, but an expression of a design philosophy that values authenticity, grace and tradition.
The WSH-805 is therefore not just a technical device - it is a piece of audiophile culture.
Intuitive retro-style user interface
The classically inspired tilt and deflection indicators, combined with high-quality toggle switches, appear in a revised, patented design. The WSH-805 Classic thus combines a nostalgic look with contemporary ease of use and high functionality - an interface for true hi-fi enthusiasts.
Robust construction with a weight of 22 kg
The integrated amplifier consists of 1,586 high-quality individual parts, protected by a solid metal housing. This solid construction ensures outstanding durability and minimizes mechanical vibrations - for pure, unadulterated sound reproduction.
Pure analog design
The WSH-805 is a fully analog stereo integrated amplifier based on the legendary Unitra WSH-205. The original was of such high quality that it was mainly intended for export - a milestone in Polish audio technology.
For the WSH-805, the principles of that time were retained, but implemented anew with modern manufacturing quality and improved components. Digital signal processes were deliberately excluded in order to preserve the purely analog character and the naturalness of the sound colors.
Dual-mono architecture
Each channel has an independent preamplifier and a separate power amplifier, resulting in exceptional channel separation and a particularly wide, precise stereo image.
Up-to-date feedback topology
Thanks to the modernized feedback structure, the WSH-805 achieves outstanding performance in terms of:
- Dynamics
- precision
- Low noise
This more complex topology offers measurable and audible advantages over classic designs.
Powerblock - proprietary, discrete technology
The newly developed power block is based entirely on discrete circuits, not integrated chips. This creates a unique sound character that clearly stands out from typical IC-based solutions - more organic, more dynamic and more authentic.
Exceptionally clear, distortion-free sound
- Signal-to-noise ratio: > 100 dB
- THD: 0.0008 % (1 kHz / 8 Ω / 40 W)
- IMD: < 0.0015 % (19-20 kHz / 10 W)
These values stand for maximum fidelity - you hear music free of tonal artifacts, exactly as it was recorded.
Switchable operating modes: Class A & Class AB
A special switch on the front allows you to choose between:
Class A - maximum linearity, highest sound purity
Class AB - maximum efficiency and power reserves
This allows you to adapt the sound character perfectly to your listening preferences.
Wide range of analog connection options
The amplifier offers:
- a comprehensive set of high-quality RCA inputs
- a pair of balanced XLR inputs for audio enthusiasts who want maximum noise immunity
This ensures maximum flexibility when connecting your audio sources.
Integrated phono preamplifier (MM/MC)
The dedicated phono input supports MM and MC cartridges. No matter which turntable or cartridge you use - the WSH-805 offers optimum conditions for any modern or classic record.
High-quality, integrated headphone amplifier
The integrated, low-impedance headphone amplifier allows the direct connection of high-end headphones. Thanks to precise tuning, every class of headphones plays under ideal conditions - rich in detail, dynamic and absolutely clear.
