Acurus A2002 Power Amplifier

Jeff Dorgay has posted a review of the Acurus A2002 power amplifier ($2495) at TONEAudio. His conclusions:

“Running the A2002 through its paces with a number of different loudspeakers after the photo session proved this amplifier unflappable. With enough juice to comfortably drive the Magenpan 1.7s, everything else from the Harbeth Compact 7ES-3s to the B&W 802D and the new Sonus Faber Ellipsa SE was a great match.

The A2002 was equally preamplifier friendly, working equally well with all of the tube and solid-state units at my disposal. This amplifier is incredibly neutral and dynamic, performing much better than I expected for the price asked – just as the original models did in the 80s. Both the Aragon and Acurus amplifiers were often referred to as “the working mans Krell” by enthusiasts.

This adds up to an Exceptional Value Award for 2012, and I’m looking forward to hearing the Aragon amplifiers as soon as they are available.”
