Summary:
The latest Integrated Amplifier from Electrocompaniet is a 100% success, considering
the aim to reach high musical performances close to the ones of separate elements,
usually much more expensive and voluminous. A relatively high output power combined with
an extreme current capability up to 60A, together with the most rational circuits for high
sound transparency, and the friendly comfortable remote control, will remove any possible
frustration from most audiophiles and musical purists. Also, the price has been carefully
established in order to provide a most competitive product.
Our measurements show excellent results especially considering the harmonic and intermodulation
distortion, independently of the output power. We just love the manufacturing quality offered by
this unit, the components used, the circuit design similar to the ones of the more expensive
separate elements from Electrocompaniet, the remote control, the balanced inputs and outputs,
the preamp out. We would have appreciated though, a balance control and even more low frequency
presence (but these are just small details considering the extreme sound realism provided by this unit).
To be considered as an amplifier for lifetime? perhaps ! This is a real high-end piece
of equipment offered at a most realistic price, to be combined with other devices giving the same level
of sound transparency, and well balanced audio spectrum.
