Boulder 1060
Not much information on the Boulder 1060 survives. It appears to have been a stereo power amplifier rated at 300 watts per channel. The cabinet was two-inch MDF on all six sides, finished in cherrywood, with protruding metallic supports and adjustable spikes. The amplifier used a two-stage, wide-bandwidth design. List price was $18,500 - still very high, but period commentary in Audiophile (p.24) said it was more attainable than Boulder's earlier designs.
The 1060's chassis and basic construction were later carried over to the Boulder 1050 monaural amplifier, as reported in Audiophile (p.19). One reviewer called its performance "absolutely superb." Beyond that, little else is recorded about the model. It seems to have been Boulder's stereo counterpart to their monaural offerings of the era, but no detailed specification sheet, production run dates, or manual have surfaced in the research corpus.
