Overview

New designs, power transistors identical to the MAA 1000, new power supply, more power, more music, more modern presentation - this is the X-A160.

The X-A160 amplifier features an ultra-rigid, compartmentalized chassis that provides effective shielding, eliminating any risk of interference between the device’s various circuits.
The use of “Audiophile” grade components guarantees reproduction of your favorite music with finesse and subtlety.
The high-power supply combined with the “very high current” power transistors (NJW0281G - NJW0302G) from the MAA 1000 delivers the most demanding dynamics.
The X-A160 delivers 160 W per channel in class AB mode. A switch located on the rear of the unit allows the X-A160 to deliver the first few watts in class A. Beyond this power level, it automatically switches to class AB.

Replaced a Harman Kardon HK 90 that caused me some issues with this Advance X-A 160 amp. Overall satisfied with the product from an aesthetic point of view (the wife likes the amp's looks!) although I find it a bit crude in terms of the VU meters. The sound is there, with good overall definition equivalent to what I had with the HK 90. The only issue is a ground loop hum present with the volume off and a slight imbalance in the voices; With the sound at 0 I can still hear the sound very faintly but noticeably on the left voice, but this may be coming from the older generation Advance preamp. In summary, a good amp given the very affordable price, and the XLR cables add a boost to the bass.

Remplacement d'un harman Kardon HK 90 qui m'a causé quelques soucis par cet ampli advance X-A 160. Globalement satisfait par le produit d'un point de vue esthétique (l'ampli plait à madame !) pour ma part je le trouve assez joli bien qu'un peu grossier au niveau des vu-mètres. Le son est là, bonne définition générale équivalent à ce que j'avais avec le HK 90. Seul un bruit de masse est présent volume coupé et un léger déséquilibre des voix ; Son à 0 j'entend très faiblement mais présent quand même le son sur la voix gauche mais peut-être cela provient du préampli Advance de l'ancienne génération. En résumé, bon ampli compte tenu du prix très abordable, les câbles XLR apportent un plus dans les graves.

Eco-contribution included in the sale price.
