ADVANCE PARIS X-A160 EVO

The Advance Paris X-A160EVO is a solid-state stereo power amplifier designed to meet the demands of audiophiles who prioritize sound quality. It features an ultra-rigid, compartmentalized chassis engineered to provide effective shielding and prevent any interference between the various internal circuits. The components used are of audiophile grade, capable of reproducing music with great finesse and detail, delivering every nuance with naturalness and precision.

Its power supply, borrowed from the MAA 1000, combined with very high current power transistors (NJW0281G and NJW0302G), allows it to easily handle even the most demanding dynamic passages, providing sound that is always powerful and controlled. The X-A160EVO delivers 160 watts per channel into 8 Ohms and up to 240 watts into 4 Ohms, ensuring high-level performance even with speakers that are particularly challenging to drive.

A distinctive feature of this amplifier is the High Bias switch, which allows the device to operate in a mode similar to Class A for the initial watts of power, offering the purity and naturalness typical of Class A amplifiers but with the efficiency of Class AB when these levels are exceeded. This system combines the warmth and musicality of Class A amplification with the power and practicality of Class AB, resulting in a listening experience that is always engaging and precise.
