Advance Paris -X-A160EVO - Power Stereo Amplifier

Advance Paris X-A160 EVO is a stereo power amplifier designed for systems that need strong output, high current delivery, and clean control from a dedicated amplifier stage. It delivers 2 x 160W RMS at 8ohms and 2 x 240W RMS at 4ohms, giving it the power needed for a wide range of serious loudspeakers. Its updated circuit design, new power supply, and modernized presentation build on Advance Paris’s larger amplifier architecture while keeping the X-A160 EVO practical for refined two-channel systems.

The X-A160 EVO uses very high current NJW0281G and NJW0302G power transistors, the same transistor family used in the MAA 1000. A 700VA toroidal transformer supports stable power delivery, while the ultra-rigid compartmentalized chassis helps isolate internal circuits and reduce unwanted interaction between sections. Hi-Bias mode, selected from the rear panel, allows the amplifier to deliver its first watts in Class A before automatically transitioning into Class AB when more power is required.

For listeners pairing a dedicated preamplifier with a muscular stereo amplifier, the Advance Paris X-A160 EVO offers a balanced mix of refinement and authority. Its wide 10Hz-80kHz bandwidth, greater than 120dB signal-to-noise ratio, and balanced and unbalanced input compatibility make it a capable partner for high-performance source and preamp systems. Front-panel VU meters complete the classic Advance Paris presentation while giving the amplifier the visual presence expected from a serious stereo power block.
