Public holidays, youth discos and watching movies with your family cannot be imagined without sound. However, the quality and power of audio signals may not always please users. The usual active multichannel systems have impressive characteristics, but not many reach the ideal. That is why professionals use power amplifiers that are able to pass a signal through themselves, increase its volume, while maintaining the original quality. They offer advanced customization functionality and the ability to connect additional equipment.
We have compiled a list of the best power amplifiers based on expert opinions and feedback from real customers.

Type: power amplifier
The main advantages
- Power amplifier with high quality two-block amplification path from a renowned American manufacturer. The sound recording and reproducing equipment of this company is used by the world famous film companies 20th Century Fox, Disney / Pixar, Sony Pictures, Universal and Warner Brothers
- The range of settings for the pre-amplifier is unusually large in comparison with other devices of this class. The device can be used with a stereo system or to enhance the sound signal of home theater equipment
- Complementary Sunken transistors are used in the amplification stage
- The amplifier is Ultra THX 2 certified and can handle a maximum amperage of up to 35A per channel
The main advantages
- The amplifier is two-channel, it has two balanced outputs that allow you to transmit an audio signal over long distances with virtually no loss of quality. In contrast to conventional RCA, balanced connectors are more reliable in operation
- Clarity of soundtracks reproduction is ensured by the presence of an innovative system in the device circuit based on the use of reverse current circuits
- Power Amp direct mode expands the flexibility of the amplifier by providing separate control of front speakers and overall volume
- The "Standby" mode allows you to use the amplifier in standby mode, when the consumption of electrical energy is minimal, and it is turned on at the same time by a corresponding command from the remote control or control panel
Type: integrated amplifier
The main advantages
- To improve the sound quality, the proprietary technology ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) has been implemented. The effect is achieved by reducing the use of analog digital signal conversion circuits in the amplifier and using the design features of the module layout.
- The rugged enclosure houses a double bottom amplifier chassis made of 1mm sheet metal. This is done to maximize the absorption of vibrations that negatively affect sound quality during device operation.
- Very efficient 32-bit ESS DAC (ES9010K2M)
- The installed USB DAC module allows you to use your computer as a source of media files
- Adjustment of all necessary parameters: timbre, loudness
The main advantages
- Two-channel integrated amplifier has five stereo line outputs for connecting acoustic devices
- MM-type phono stage allows you to reproduce audio recordings from vinyl media
- Bi / Tri-amping improves sound quality, while Direct mode ensures accurate reproduction of audio files without changing the bit rate and sampling frequency
- Headphone jack is conveniently located on the outside panel for quick connection
- The remote control is universal and fits all tuners and players manufactured by the company
Power per channel: more than 200 W
The main advantages
- Two-channel amplifier of "Stereo" standard, can operate in two modes: two-channel or bridged (mono) broadcasting
- The presence of protection against overheating and short-circuit currents, linear distortions, as well as peak DC surges, makes the operation of the amplifier safe and reliable
- Installing a separate toroidal transformer located in the input and other auxiliary circuits ensures that performance is independent of the output volume of the connected audio equipment.
- Intelligent mode provides automatic transition to the standby state when there are no signals at the amplifier input, and outputs from it - when they appear
