avid accent amplifier
AVIDHIFI amplifiers are designed with the same care and attention to detail as AVID's turntables, resulting in highly accurate, ultra low distortion products that 'get out of the way' of the music. The design and build of AVID's integrated amplifiers is the same as their pre/power combinations.
The new ACCENT integrated amplifier halves the entry level into AVID's world of amplifiers, bringing their world of accuracy and precision within a wider reach.
The outer casework is luxuriously finished in aluminium, which along with its large transformer and other components, weighs in at a respectable 17.5kg. The recent addition of a solid aluminium remote control provides users with the ability to control volume and mute when necessary.
A huge 617Va transformer and 40,000 uF capacitor reservoir provides an extremely robust 70wpc into 8ohms, and able to drive any loudspeaker you're likely to pair with it.
An amplifier should only amplify, hence the bare minimum of controls on the chunky aluminium fascia - only input select and volume controls are catered for. The ACCENT also includes a remote control.
If you have an AVIDHIFI turntable, you can be rest assured that pairing it with an AVIDHIFI amplifier will bring more of the faithful, low distortion sound that you don't hear from your turntable! Just sit back and enjoy the music.
Any AVIDHIFI amplifiers purchased from the little audio company will attract a healthy part exchange value if traded in against other AVID amplifiers.
The ACCENT is purely analogue, and provides four RCA line-level inputs, plus an integral PELLAR MM/MC phono stage.
A pair of RCA outputs facilitate the addition of a power amplifier, should you require more.

"The bass is sublime; deep, detailed and superbly controlled and it underpins a sweep from the lower midrange to the threshold of our hearing without any sense of embellishment or recess. It's entirely matter of fact...but its an absolute riot at the same time."
