Integrated Amplifiers

 

The Model IS

The tour de force : The Model IS is a full width design with unrivaled Lavardin Technology, build quality and design philosophy, in particular the circuits and components which virtually eliminate the effects of memory distortion .
The exceptional dynamics of the Model IS will definitely bring you closer to the music and give you a purity and clarity that no other amplifier, even those far outside its price range, can achieve. You will find it hard to believe that its power output is only 45W, so powerful are the transients. Also hard to believe is its nuanced and silky rendition, which is usually only possible with single-ended tube amplifiers.

We have experienced fantastic results with excellent speakers such as those from Avalon, Sonus Faber, Quad ESL63, Rogers LS3/5A, Living Voice and many others...

The Model IT

The Model IT is the first commercial audio amplifier in the world to be based on our original "Memory Free" technology. The IT is a unique technological achievement resulting from 12 years of research and thousands of hours of listening tests. The elegant flagship of the Lavardin Technologies range, it is also a potent demonstration of the significance of our discoveries, denied by some, used in marketing by others...
The Model IT is a minimalist design and uses extremely accurate, high performance memory free circuitry. It is operated manually and has a line level source selection for up to four unbalanced inputs, no tape output and no phono facility.

A purity and clarity that no other amplifier can achieve make the choice of the IT over competitors a natural one. But perhaps we are not the best people to claim how good our products are : let the audiophiles and the music lovers talk.
