Acurus A200x3 Amplifier

The Acurus A200x3 is a high end amplifier of exceptional smoothness.

This amplifier is built like a tank with high quality parts as evidenced by its glass epoxy circuit board. It has heavy gauge copper wire toroidal transformers for continuous power into lower impedance real world speaker loads. The power reserves are immense to the extent that even after the amplifier is turned off, the music keeps on playing for a few minutes until it slowly fusses out. The amplifier has efficient thermal management and can be played for hours without getting hot. It drove my Thiel CS3.5s with ease and was a perfect match for these speakers.

The sonic qualities of the Acurus A200X3 are characterized as revealing, and forward but not grainy. The bass is powerful and tight, the midrange is smooth and warm, and the highs are appealing and sweet. It is able to play with the most subtle delicacy at a moment, and then play at shattering volumes with no strain, and produces a wide and terrific soundstage. The Acurus A200X3 is a capable amplifier of superb build quality and delivers high end experience time to time without fail.

Specifications:

200 watts per channel continuous, all channels driven into 8 Ohms 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz at no more than 0.06% total harmonic distortion; 300 watts per channel continuous, each channel driven into 4 Ohms 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz

According to Acurus' literature:

"Unlike speakers, test benches use simple 8 ohm
resistive loads. Virtually all other manufacturers
engineer amplifiers/to have high power ratings,
based upon this simple test which is unlike any
speaker in the world. Acurus power amplifiers are
engineered to provide high power into speakers.
Don't compare our Real World Speaker Power to
other amplifiers by looking at power ratings.
In addition, our ratings are so conservative that.,
many other manufacturers would claim the following
watts per channel ratings for Acurus amplifiers...
A200X3: 300 watts 8 Ohms/600 watts 4 Ohms..."
