Constellation Revelation 2 Power Amplifier

The Constellation Revelation 2 amplifier is considered high-end due to its balanced amplifier circuits, innovative power supply, and meticulous design. It aims to deliver pure, powerful sound with exceptional clarity and dynamic range, faithfully reproducing musical details and nuances

Balanced Amplifier Design:
The Revelation 2 employs a balanced configuration, with separate amplifier circuits for the positive and negative halves of the audio signal. This helps to reduce noise and distortion, resulting in a cleaner and more detailed sound

Constellation's C-SMPS Power Supply:
The amplifier utilizes Constellation's custom-designed Switched-Mode Power Supply (C-SMPS). This technology provides remarkably consistent power compared to traditional transformer-based systems, and ensures stable output even with fluctuations in the AC line voltage

Line Stage Gain Module:
The Revelation 2 incorporates the Line Stage Gain Module, a key element in Constellation Audio's preamplifiers, known for its depth and musicality. This module features hand-matched, low-noise transistors in a fully balanced, mirror-imaged circuit. 
For the technically inclined:
The Revelation 2 Stereo and Mono Amplifiers employ a balanced configuration, with separate amplifier circuits for the positive and negative halves of the audio signal. Other balanced amplifiers use N-type transistors for the positive half of the circuit and P-type transistors for the negative half. Our Balanced Bridged configuration uses only N-type transistors, so both signal halves pass through exactly the same circuitry-and even the softest musical details are preserved.

True Dual Mono Construction:
The amplifier is built with a true dual-mono configuration, with separate left and right channel circuits, inputs, and outputs. This helps to minimize interference between channels

Munich High-End 2024: HiFi Plus's reviewers get to choose the top Five Amplifiers on show

We consciously avoided getting our reviewers to share their recommendations. Rather than avoiding repeats, we wanted to show if there was consensus. Also, with such a large show, the risk of repeats was relatively low. In fact, just one brand was picked by more than one reviewer—Alan Sircom and Tom Martin selected Constellation Audio in their respective top fives.

Munich High-End 2025: Stereophile is amazed

"For me, one of the biggest surprises at Munich High End 2024 was the performance of Constellation’s new Revelation 2 stereo amplifier ($30,000), preamplifier ($25,500), and phono stage ($29,000). I’d expected refinement, but not this level of clarity; previous Constellation gear had sometimes struck me as a little dark. In Munich, the sound was beautifully illuminated, with wonderful colors and an ideal amount of brightness in the treble. read the review

Those impressions were confirmed at AXPONA 2025. Revelation 2 isn’t even Constellation’s top tier—two higher lines are on the way—but its sound rivals much pricier gear."  Stereophile

HiFi News - gives Constellation Revelation an Outstanding Review

"Constellation’s second-generation pairing lives up to its name with the kind of performance that separates the merely ‘good’ from the truly ‘great’" 

"The minor cosmetic refresh to Constellation’s Revelation amplifiers does not reflect the transformation under the hood, where new, precision-engineered power supplies seemingly boost every facet of performance. Play any genre and this system excels, muscular and attacking one moment, insightful and fluid the next. It’s a premium sound worthy of the price, and a fine way to kick off the brand’s new era"read the review HiFi News
