Guest Hensa Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, al said: this is one heck of a serious bargain here ! Agreed, this is a fabulous integrated. Gobs of power combined with a smooth delivery. I use the Lab Series power amp with the earlier series preamp and they are terrific. For whatever reason, AVI is not well known in Australia but have a great reputation in the UK and Europe. Edited June 26, 2018 by Hensa
Jimboz Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Thanks to Razuu I have his matching CD player to go with my Avi s21.This amp did not disappoint lots of clarity, great bass control, effortless neutral sound really and reserves upon reserves left in the tank and yet so very musical. You can also get the Avi phono stage board sent over from the uk now for ~200$ from the chap who was the repair for Avi and apparently is v good too. I need to find someone to come round and solder 4 joints onto the pcb for me still:) Great chap to buy from. Glws! 1
Guest Hensa Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 @Razuu A couple of questions that may assist potential buyers if I may: 1. Does this have the phono board as mentioned by Jimboz? I notice it has the rca inputs and ground post. 2. Is there a remote control? Thanks and good luck with the sale.
Razuu Posted June 26, 2018 Author Posted June 26, 2018 Hi. Yes, has phono stage and yes, a after market remote is included. Hi Jimboz, how's the AVI Lab series CD coming along? Cheers
Jimboz Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 With phono and a service/posts - this is quite a bargain - While I can't verify (yet) but the phono was claimed to be worth the price of the amp!. If you could get one with phono stage you'd prob be paying around $1500 in UK then getting it here would be getting close to $2K (if I can say that) - so it's a cracking deal. The CD player is going well - the two units are clearly suited - All that UK history (growing up there) the smooth and very detailed and without the harsh "attack" that you can get on some modern spinners. I really don't have much reference but to me it betters similar gen Arcam DV79 (which is also quite smooth), BDP100, newer Cambridge CXU or oppo105 .. It can "no disc" on some of my brillo padded CDs mind you but the turntable is def gathering dust these days which says it all Nice Spendors! damn....
Misternavi Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 This is still one of the integrated amps that I still wish I had. AVI made really good audio gear until they lost the plot and only made active speakers and stay away from the AVI users group online.
