Description
Accuphase A-48S – and it’s now with us.
Whereas the larger integrated amplifiers can get a little visually overwhelming, this power amp oozes ‘cool’. The power section may be similar too the one in the E-800, but separating the preamp with (hint) C-2300 brings a very significant uplift in quality.
Really, it’s utterly magnificent, even with ‘only’ the C-2300 preamp.
The A-48S incorporates state-of-the-art technologies to create a Class A power amplifier that delivers superb performance. Benefitting from years of ideal designs of high-performance units, the A-48S utilizes 6-parallel pull-push power MOS-FETs and boasts an output of 50 W into 8 ohms, 100 W into 4 ohms, 200 W into 2 ohms, and 400 W into 1 ohm at the same size as conventional models. The noise level has also been further reduced by 6%, while providing a damping factor of 1,000. The A-48S will bring the best out of any speaker, enabling you to enjoy unparalleled sound quality and expansiveness.
