Compact Stereo Amplifier

Pleyel-Ag: Compact Stereo Amplifier

Ships June 2003

The Pleyel-Ag is the second product of the Silver-Series. It was first previewed at CES2002 and has gaigned the admiration of all who have been able to put their hands on our limited supplies. The addage "great things come in small packages" has never been more true than with the Pleyel-Ag. Despite it's small size 1.6" x 8.9" x 6.9" (40 x 225 x 178mm) designed to match the Odéon-Ag, it certainly sports our signature Solid-Tubetm amplifier sound and pride.

Make no mistakes, although the Pleyel-Ag is a technical feat, the power of this amplifier is only as big as it's size. Not recommended for low efficiency speakers. Simply put, the Pleyel-Ag is not a good match for speakers whose efficiency is not at least 90dB/1W/2.8V. But if you are among the lucky ones to own efficient speakers, not only will the Pleyel-Ag "rock your world" but its musicality will enchant you. The phrases we retain from early previews are "I had no idea such music could exist" or "I have never heard an amplifier like this [..] the name amplifier is not apporpriate, it should be called a music maker or a music multiplier".

Here are some of the technical specifications:

    • Stereo 2 x 18 Watts
    • Monoblock 35 Watts
    • New Solid-Tube output stages
    • Innovative Digital bias control
    • Adapts to the speaker load connected

This new version of our Solid-Tubetm technology is tightly integrated with a micro-computer which monitors and maintains the bias at an optimal value that adapts to the speaker load connected. It's like shipping a technician with every amplifier who maintains perfect bias at all times.
