AVM - A 5.2 Evolution - All-In-One Power Tube Amplifier
Now You Can Downsize Without Compromise
The A 5.2 is a modern, versatile and powerful integrated amplifier that can be configured to suit any customer's requirements. It was designed for customers who prefer to have fewer components and want an elegant, easy-to-use sound system with a spacious, musical sound.
The A 5.2 comes standard with one balanced and four unbalanced inputs, one processor in/out, and both balanced and unbalanced outputs. An optional DAC card with 192 kHz / 24 bit upsampling, and an optional MM/MC phono card with adjustable loading, can easily be added at any time.
With 185W/channel into 8 ohms and 350W per channel into 4 ohms will drive any loudspeaker; two pairs of speaker terminals are provided, along with a subwoofer-out connector. A headphone output is provided on the front panel. Configurable inputs, tone and balance controls allow complete user control of the unit.
"Everything about the Evolution A5.2 integrated amplifier screams quality, from its elegant look to its excellent build quality and finish. But knowing that it was not packed with features and given its price tag, I approached the review with high expectations of its sonic performance. I was ready to accept the outcome either way, but I am glad to report that the sonic performance of the A5.2 convincingly exceeded my high expectations. The A5.2 produced natural and detailed sound, and its ability to present the musical stage with a high degree of palpability was second to none. It is very adept in expressing the musical rhythm and pace that could indulge listeners vividly in the emotion of the music. If the AVM 5.2 is within your budget, I highly recommend giving it a listen, especially if you are looking for a high-end integrated amplifier that can potentially offer you music listening bliss."
