Key Features

Best of Both Worlds
The A10 Classic combines an ECC81/12AT7 tube pre-amplifier for all the warmth that tubes are revered for. There is a 2x130W class AB push-pull amplifier for the control and dynamics you need to make your speakers sound their very best.

It may be a Classic, but it's modern
Modernity is also displayed thanks to a microprocessor which manages all the functions called up by the encoder wheel, a long or short press allow easy access to the menus. Nothing was left to chance, the A10 Classic was painstakingly designed to offer ease of use and exhaustive connectivity.

All the right connections

THE MUSICAL EVIDENCE
With our A10 CLASSIC amplifier, our goal was to offer a modern integrated amplifier inspired by the famous X-i1100, hailed by audiophiles for its musicality and liveliness. The A10 is fully future-proof and easy to use. Although its classic design remains timeless, it combines an ECC81/12AT7 tube preamplifier with a 2x130W class AB push-pull amplifier. In short, the best of both worlds!

Modernity is also displayed thanks to a microprocessor which manages all the functions called up by the encoder wheel, a long or short press allow easy access to the menus. The A10 offers many inputs including 5 pairs of RCA analog, 1 pair of balance XLR and an MM phono with three capacitance settings (200, 320, 5 pf). There are 3 Toslink digital inputs, one coaxial digital, as well as USB. There is a connector for an optional aptX XFTB01 or aptX HD XFTB02 Bluetooth receiver.

The A10 offers two HDMI inputs, including one for a source device and an HDMI ARC to connect a television for two way communication.
