Lavardin ISx Integrated Amplifier

The Model ISx is a full width design with unrivalled Lavardin Technology, build quality and design philosophy, in particular the circuits and components which virtually eliminate the effects of memory distortion.
The new X circuits brings a major improvement on transparency and micro dynamics over its predecessor the Model IS.
The Model ISx 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.
Its extreme transparency, over the full bandwidth is in contrast with midband focused transparency of the best tube amplifiers. Its micro dynamics, never aggressive, clumsy or confused is in contrast with almost all transistor and digital amplifiers.
By design, Lavardin Technologies amplifiers are the less load sensitive amplifiers ever made. Consequently, virtually all speakers will be driven at their best whatever their size and technology. This fantastic power handling allows to measure over 104 W per channel on 2 ohm loads out of the Model ISx and 50 W on 8 ohm.
Today's digital sources musical drama is the use of their digital volume control, remote controlled or not. It simply destroys the musicality whatever the price of the DAC, server or computer. Now, for a much better sound, simply set both DAC and computer at full level and set the volume thanks to the Lavardin amplifier remote handset.
