ADVANCE PARIS X-A160 EVO

Pre owned. In excellent condition. Free from any noticeable signs of wear. Supplied without original packaging.

The Advance Paris X-A160EVO is a solid-state stereo power amplifier designed to meet the requirements of discerning audiophiles. It features an ultra-rigid, compartmentalized chassis engineered to provide effective shielding and prevent interference between the various internal circuits. The selected audiophile-grade components are designed to reproduce music with refinement and detail, conveying every nuance with naturalness and precision.

Its high-power supply, derived from the MAA 1000, combined with high-current power transistors (NJW0281G and NJW0302G), allows it to handle even the most demanding dynamic passages with ease, delivering consistently powerful and controlled performance. The X-A160EVO provides 160 watts per channel into 8 ohms and up to 240 watts into 4 ohms, ensuring excellent performance even with particularly demanding loudspeakers.

A distinctive feature of this amplifier is the High Bias switch, which allows the unit to operate in a Class A-like mode during the first few watts of output power. This provides the purity and naturalness associated with Class A amplification, while retaining the efficiency of Class AB operation at higher power levels. This system combines the warmth and musicality of Class A with the power and practicality of Class AB, delivering an engaging and precise listening experience.
