TEAC has introduced the compact TEAC AP-507 two-channel power amplifier, which implements the latest Hypex NCOREx Class D technology. Compared to its predecessor AP-505, the TEAC AP-507 is equipped with an updated amplifier module with higher output power and low distortion. In addition, the TEAC AP-507 amplifier supports bridge mode for use as a powerful monoblock.

The American manufacturer of High-End audio equipment, Boulder, has introduced a new stereo power amplifier, the Boulder 1162. The model offers 2 x 300 watts of power into 8 ohm speakers and a staggering 2 x 900 watts into 4 ohm load.

Pro-Ject has introduced a compact stereo power amplifier Pro-Ject Amp Box RS2. A distinctive feature of the new product is the use of a pair of vacuum tubes and the ability to switch the model to a bridged mode.

French audio equipment manufacturer Atoll Electronique has updated many of its component lines – among the announcements is the integrated amplifier Atoll Electronique IN400 Evolution. The model offers a power of 2 x 160 W at 8 Ohm load and 2 x 300 W at 4 Ohm and offers a number of very interesting engineering solutions.

The new NAD CI SA2-120 BluOS streaming integrated amplifier is a part of CI Modular Series, and offers high power with minimal dimensions - 1/3 width x 1U height. The model uses DirectDigital digital amplification with built-in thermostatic cooling, allowing installation of the amp in a professional rack and offers a power of 2 x 120 W. The platform also allows switching to a 4 x 60 W configuration and the use of an additional pair of outputs with Dynamic Load Management system.

The Japanese company SPEC CORPORATION has introduced a new integrated amplifier SPEC RSA-EX1000. The model uses a main board designed to minimize the length of the passage of musical signals from the volume control to the low-pass filter - according to the manufacturer, this preserves even the weakest signals and ensures a wealth of detail. Of course, the sound quality is also improved by reducing the inductance (coil effect) due to the minimization of internal wiring.

The flagship High End power amplifiers from Constellation Audio, the Statement Mono Amplifier and Statement Stereo Amplifier, use a whole clip of the company's innovations and provide outstanding sound quality.

Fezz Audio has introduced the Fezz Olympia Mono Power Amplifier and the Fezz Olympia Dual Mono Amplifier. The models are based on KT88 tubes and offer high output power.

The second generation of BRAMA audio equipment from Vinnie Rossi offers significant improvements in both the design of the devices and their sound quality. In total, three devices were released in the line - a preamplifier, a monoblock power amplifier and an integrated amplifier. All devices are built using a fully balanced dual mono input-to-output architecture and are equipped with only XLR commutation.

The Japanese brand Onkyo presented a new series stereo equipment at the CES 2025 exhibition - the Onkyo Icon P-80 network preamplifier, the Onkyo Icon M-80 power amplifier and the Onkyo Icon A-50 streaming integrated amplifier.

Polish company MOREaudio has introduced a new integrated amplifier CS100, which, according to the manufacturer, “features an innovative topology inspired by the legendary Single-Ended designs” - in this case, we are talking about a system where abandoned the global feedback loop in favor of local feedback at each stage.

The inability of the amplifier to control the speakers is a fatal and most common mistake when composing and installing audio systems. Insufficient drive of the speaker systems can cross out all the rest of the work on selecting components - and the money will be literally wasted. Well, in this "how to" guide, we will consider the most important points that allow you to get the most out of the loudspeakers and give step-by-step instructions for assessing the compatibility of components.

SMSL has introduced the SMSL PA200 stereo power amplifier – offering both volume control and switching to bridge mode. Thus, with one signal source, the owner can save on preamplifiers, and in the case of creating a multi-component installation, easily switch the system to monoblock amplification mode.

Greek company Lab12 has released the Lab12 Mighty tube power amplifier, operating in class A and providing an output power of 2 x 10 W. The model is compatible with both the Lab12 Hpa and True branded preamplifiers, as well as with a wide range of preamplifiers from other manufacturers.
