Audio Research REF160M Tube Monoblock Power Amplifiers / Pair SILVER

Audio Research built the REF160M with massive power reserves to drive even the largest and most difficult loudspeakers with ease. Many reviewers are impressed while pushing the meters to the limit, how this amp simply continues to sing without noticeable distortion. It's a beautifully designed tube amp with the authority of a solid-state.

Impressive dynamics, speed and neutrality with dead silent background add to the musical experience owners enjoy. You may see these at shows and in magazines driving 6 figure loudspeakers, but you'll be shocked how good even modestly priced loudspeaker perform when driven by the REF160's.
