The Orchestra Reference delivers the famous Jadis sound at a price within reach of any music lover.
It is a hybrid design featuring a pair of solid-state bipolar transistors on the front end of a classic push-pull 40 watt integrated. This design was chosen for it’s higher power and lower distortion. Utilizing much the advanced technology that makes Jadis a leader in high-end tube amplification, such as point-to-point wiring, non-magnetic stainless steel chassis, gold-plated ceramic tube sockets and custom in-house hand-made transformers, the Orchestra Reference exemplifies the luxurious sound Jadis is famous for.
The Orchestra Reference delivers a big open sound with unrivaled dynamics and clarity. The fixed bias output stage delivers efficient power and enhanced tube life. When you combine this classic 40 watt EL34 design with Jadis’ custom, hand-made transformers the result is stunning musicality at incredible value.

The Orchestra Black was specially made for the North American market to Bluebird’s specifications. It is a derivative of the popular Orchestra Reference but it includes a tube upgrade from EL34 to the more robust 6CA7 industrial tubes and some proprietary internal tweaks. These changes produce a noticeable sonic improvement. The gold faceplates and transformer covers were replaced with black to give a more modern industrial look and reduce the cost.
As a result of the above effort, the Orchestra Black sounds better and costs less than its predecessor. At $4,495, with remote included, the Orchestra Black delivers outstanding sonic performance and value for money.
