Arete SB 200 Class AAB Power Amplifier
Enough Power to drive most demanding speakers, The Arete SB200 offers 200W per channel of clean power on the tap and most importantly runs in Class A at low listening volumes and the first few watts ( 20W).The amplifier has all the grunt and dynamics to power every crescendo of an orchestra. A personification of extreme control and grip the Arete is like a whip to the horse ( Your speaker).
Since this is a high gain amplifier all you need is a DAC with volume control to run this amp (Even something as simple as an SMSL Sanskrit 10Mk2 would do.
We prefer not to write poetry about how the amplifier sounds or supposed to sound and hope our features and Specifications do more of the talking
The Avante SA and Arete SB series of power amplifiers are commissioned by SoundFoundations and custom built in Datong Taiwan by an oem vendor /supplier to Adcom , Parasound and Primare.
Though the Cabinet is a Generic one used by some other brands we have made small modifications and more importantly the Circuit design and components are curated by a known and respected Indian designer in collaboration with Sound Reach Audio design and are proprietary to us.
