A NOTE FROM THE HEAD MONSTER

Dear Enthusiast,

THANK YOU for purchasing my Signature MPA 5150, Monster Home Theatre Music 5-Channel Reference Power Amplifier. I started my Signature Series in 2002

by introducing special editions of the Monster Power Automatic Voltage Stabilizer AVS 2000, Home Theatre Power Source HTPS 7000 and Reference Home Theatre PowerCenter HTS 5100. Each of these products represented a breakthrough in performance and affordability and included special enhancements for audiophiles and videophiles who appreciate minute attention to detail and elegant design… all geared towards getting the most from their home theater system.

Noel Lee

Now, I am introducing my signature line of Monster Home Theatre Music Reference Power Amplifiers for those

of you who are passionate about movies and music. I’ve spent years perfecting this design working with renowned audiophile designers Richard Marsh, Demian Martin and the other dedicated professionals at Monster. After countless hours of critical listening and dozens of prototype designs, we have finally completed an amplifier that is good enough to be part of The Head Monster’s Signature Series.
