New Accuphase E-350 Integrated Stereo Amplifier

New Accuphase E-350 Integrated Stereo Amplifier

The new Accuphase E-350 integrated stereo amplifier will replace the E-308 in the mid-November for approximately $3200.

This amplifier gets the AAVA-II volume control (Accuphase Analog Vari-gain Amplifier) from the E-450 model, with this system amplification and volume control are fully unified, and no variable resistors are used. The power amplifier section features the current feedback principle developed by Accuphase, as well as further improved "MCS+" circuit topology, for even better electrical characteristics. It delivers a rated output of 2x140W @ 4Ω, 2x120W @ 6Ω or 2x100W @ 8Ω and it incorporates all regular analog inputs/outputs.

The E-350 measures 465x422x171mm, weighs 21.7kg, and it comes along with a remote control (RC-200).
