Valvet's entry level line stage and monoblock power
amplifiers
L1
The L1 line stage preamplifier offers four line inputs and employs one powerful dual triode valve per channel. Low distortion, zero feedback, excellent linearity and (for valves) low output impedands.
Inputs: 4 high level inputs, input impedance 100 KOhm
Amplification: 2 outputs, output impedance 2.5 KOhm (choice of OUT + REC or OUT1 + OUT2 [for bi-amping])
Dimensions: 120 x 60 x 320, W x H x D, in [mm]
Case: black or silver anodised, solid extruded aluminium profiles
Front: silver or black anodised, chromed and polished brass at extra charge
The sound: not the dull valve sound of the 50s; open, clear, dynamic with good bass extension and excellent timbre
Price £1450
E1
The E1 monoblock amplifier is a single-ended class A device delivering 10W into 8 Ohms, utilising one transistor in the output stage.
Connections: massive chinch input socket, input imdedance 50 kOhm massive binding posts for speaker cable (plugs or spades)
Amplification: 10 watts into 8 Ohms
Dimensions: 120 x 60 x 320, W x H x D, in [mm]
Case: black or silver anodised, solid extruded aluminium profiles
Front: silver anodised, chromed and polished brass at extra charge
The sound: neutral, balanced, very musical and simply right
Price £1450
A1r
The A1r delivers a punch 25W of class A power into 8 ohms. The A1r is exceptionally quiet and dynamic, with a very low sound floor enabling it to portray detail and nuance. The A1r uses the same circuit as the A3 model.
Connections: Massive RCA- Inputsocket, Input impedance 50 KOhm, Massive binding-posts for speaker connection, IEC mainssocket, - WBT NextGen input/ output hardware at extra charge
Poweroutput: 25 Watts into 8 Ohms, 40 Watts into 4 Ohms
Dimensions: 120 x 60 x 400, W x H x D in [mm]
Case: Black or silver anodized, solid extruded aluminum profiles
Front: Black or silver anodized, chrome at extra charge, gentle backlit "V" in blue, red or green
The sound: neutral/ balanced with lots of power and control
Price £1850
