More about power amplifiers.

Power amplifiers are designed to take the low-level signal from a pre-amplifier, streamer, DAC or AV processor and drive your speakers with the current and control they need. In a hi-fi or home cinema system, the power amplifier is the muscle behind the sound, giving your speakers the energy to perform with better grip, scale and dynamic range.

A dedicated power amplifier can be a worthwhile upgrade if your existing amplifier is struggling with demanding speakers, if you want more headroom at higher volumes, or if you are building a separate pre and power amplifier system. Compared with an integrated amplifier, separating the pre-amplifier and power amplifier stages can reduce compromise and allow each component to do its job more effectively.

Our range includes stereo power amplifiers for two-channel hi-fi systems, mono power amplifiers for serious speaker control, and multi-channel power amplifiers for home cinema and custom installation use. Some models focus on outright power, while others are chosen for refinement, speed, low noise or their ability to work well with more difficult speaker loads.

Choosing the right hi-fi power amplifier is not only about the quoted wattage. Speaker sensitivity, impedance, room size, listening volume and system matching all matter. A well-matched amplifier should sound controlled and natural, with bass that feels properly held together and a presentation that does not become strained when the music gets more complex.

Whether you are looking for a high-end power amplifier, a compact stereo power amp, a mono block amplifier or a multi-channel amplifier for AV use, the aim is the same: clean power, good control and a system that lets your speakers work at their best.
