Integrated Amplifiers

Offering 25 watts of power per channel in a great value package, the AXA25 features a 3.5mm aux input on the front for smartphones and four analogue inputs on the back panel for connecting all your sources.

This amplifier has been around for decades in one form or another, and like James Bond's favourite pocket accesory it is deeply functional, effective, well finished, long lasting, and hits the target for musicality vs price.

The AXA35 boasts 35 watts of power per channel, an integrated moving magnet phono stage for turntable enthusiasts, a white display screen, and a ¼ inch headphone socket for private listening sessions.

This is often the sweet spot of the market place for people getting "real hi-fi kit" ... an integrated amplifier like this will last a generation and enable the purchaser to go through an excellent range of loudspeakers and sources. The sensible beating fidelity heart of a home music system.

We really really like the way that Rega do things. As a small family business with particular ... and peculiar ... proclivities we believe that Hi Fi should be as good as possible at making music and last you a healthy lifespan and be as inexpensive as possible.

The Rega Io is exactly those things.

"Tone Audio" reckon the Rega Io is a future classic

The perfect mini system to save space, have all that connectivity and great sound. There's a version of this that comes with speakers but if you already have some speakers, this is the one for you.

Included is a CD player, bluetooth, DAB and FM radio, a clock, sleep timer and programmable timer for those people who like to wake up and fall asleep to their favourite music.

It's powered by 2 x 30W of amplifier which is hefty relative to it's dimunitive size. Accordingly, it has a big commanding sound for a little unit and considering it's the cheapest of such units that we sell, it's not surprising it's been a popular unit with our customers.

Rotel know how to make an amp, for anyone who is a student of amplifier design in the same way that so many red blooded males are students of automobile engines looking at a Rotel amplifier with the cover off is an exercise of Hi Fi lust.

This Ishiwata Tribute amplifier is the AMG version of the normal Rotel A11 ... but it's the same price ... fantastic ...

The most powerful amplifier in the AX range offers a massive 100 watts per channel, a dedicated subwoofer speaker output for improving bass and two sets of speaker outputs. It also features analogue inputs, digital inputs, a phono stage, an FM/AM receiver with RDS and a 3.5mm input. In addition, the built-in bluetooth receiver allows you stream your favourite music from your smartphone, tablet or PC.

So many people buy Home cinema amplifiers just to listen to music ... the result being that they get an inferior sounding product in comparison to the equivalent stereo device with facilities they don't need.

The AXR100D is a proper piece of stereo kit with the right stuff in its well engineered internals but has all the useful features of Bluetooth, digital inputs and now, particularly usefully for Melbourne, the addition of a good DAB+ tuner.

Mini Component Audio System ... don't buy a soundbar 

For the price of a single piece of plastic Sonos or similiar you actually get quite a nice bit of Hi Fi with this DM41 system ... when you use it you will be immediately struck by its solid well manufacured feel and the decent sound quality.

Hi Fi components are always an obvious sound quality and build quality ahead of the 'mini systems" and this DM41 is built like proper Hi Fi rather than a mini system.

The speakers have detacheable grilles with good drive unit quality and excellent terminals in a solid non resonant box. The CD Player has a good draw mech and the control feel is like that of a decent piece of Hi Fi kit.

Feature wise it actually has an optical input making it an excellent Soundbar alternative for a contemporary Television along with Bluetooth and an excellent DAB tuner.

We saw this first at the Munich Hi Fi show where it was being used to drive something unlikely and very difficult in loudspeakers, it was a quiet little session in the demo room at Munich with a definite tension in the air as the wolves were circling each other in the Distribution Arena. The smell of blood was in the water and the knives were out.

The Cyrus One had raised the interest level in the product and what had been a quiescent and polite gentleman's agreement to purvey in Australia was attracting a new level of interest.

This is going to be a really strong product for us ... finally a rival for the Rega Brio?

The A12 integrated amplifier displays the same clean lines and intuitive operation as the A14 with output power rated at 60 Watts per channel RMS into 8 ohms. Rotel engineers begin their quest for uncompromising audio performance at the power supply. This is the heart of an amplifier and an area where considerable time and investment is spent.

The flagship A14 has the highest power and widest set of features in the range. The A14 is rated at 80 Watts per channel RMS into 8 ohms, both channels driven. Yet ratings alone do not reflect real world usage. The A14 features a rugged power supply comprising a Rotel-manufactured toroidal transformer plus slit-foil capacitors to effortlessly handle difficult speaker loads and dynamic signal peaks.

Integrated amplifier with Streaming and digital inputs

This unit is in perfect condition and has had minimal use in store. It comes with the box, all accessories and full warranty. 

This is what happens when some European Denon designers try to get in on the act of brands like Cyrus and Rega ... and it's a fair effort. Fundamentally this is a number of different devices put into a single chassis so it's a jolly convenient amalgam of streaming and digital inputs with a solid smooth sounding amplifier. 

Look it's not going to win a strict AB comparison with a Cyrus or Rega ... and it lacks a phono input. However the convenience of all those source options and the opportunity of combining this with a good pair of bookshelf speakers with an appropriate treble character make it a contender
