Striking good looks, superior components and that instantly identifiable Monitor Audio sound – it looks like the A100 may be the complete package…
We all know Monitor Audio as the speaker giant that brought us some of the best sounding and best value speakers on the market today. The A100 is their first integrated amplifier and as first efforts go, it’s impressive.
It certainly looks the part. Finished in a sturdy-looking, minimalist case and available in black or white, it ticks all the style boxes. The most notable thing about its design is that sleek, curved chassis that not only looks great, but enables you to stand the amplifier on its end if you’re short of space. It’s a great idea, and its the kind of innovation that makes us hope that Monitor Audio have paid the same kind of attention to sound quality as they have to build.
We’re not disappointed, either. The A100 boasts a Class A/B amplifier that can achieve audiophile sound at a muscular 50 Watts per channel – enough to comfortably power most speakers without breaking a sweat. The result is clean, crystal clear sound, whatever your taste in music may be. Small wonder then, that What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision magazine named it one of their “Stars of CES 2014” when it was unveiled at the tech show earlier this year.
There’s bags of connectivity too – the A100 features a pre-amp out, plus compatibility withboth digital and analogue sources. Plus, its built-in wifi makes it ready for streaming all your favourite tunes via Airstream and DLNA, with support for a wide variety of file types including high quality FLAC. For Apple-lovers, there’s even streaming via Airplay, so the A100 can sync with your Apple products.
For seamless integration of style and performance, look no further!
