Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Amphion Amp700.
Amphion’s philosophy is to develop long-life, innovative, high-performance products. Instead of following mainstream market trends, a healthy dose of out-of-the-box thinking is applied in our design process. Amphion Amp700 is good example of how the  latest  in modern D-class is brought to the next level by a simplistic, impedance optimizing, low-distortion buffer stage. When combined with the in-house designed buffer stage, the beauty and honesty – D-Class speed, control, neutrality, and low distortion –  comes across in emotionally involving manner. I hope that you enjoy using your new amplifier as much as we enjoyed developing it.

The Amp700
Amp700 provides abundant, fast, controlled power with low distortion. After evaluating all the available D-class solutions, a suitable platform was identified. To reach the needed sonic character and performance, an in-house designed buffer-stage was added to  ensure optimal impedance matching to complement the merits of D-Class technology. Amp700 is a perfect partner to all Amphion monitors and other passive speakers.
