T+A Elektroakustik PA 2500 R Integrated Amplifier

A 140 Wpc amp with an extremely sophisticated power supply

T+A breaks the common wisdom that very powerful amplifiers often forfeit the finer points of dynamics and detail tracery by designing extremely powerful and sophisticated power supplies

The PA 2500 R integrated amplifier has the same basic circuit as the PA 2000 R, but with a heavily upgraded power supply. The bigger case has heatsinks that are twice the size, and it accommodates two new high-performance mains power supply units that can deliver more than 280 W of continuous power per channel into 4 Ohm loudspeakers.

T+A uses low-loss mica capacitors with silver electrodes, zero-induction resistors, precision low-noise audio resistors, and nickel-free gold- or rhodium-plated terminals. All the electronic circuitry for controlling the machines is recessed into the solid aluminum front profile, where the shielding effect is outstanding. The front panel features a bright, dimmable screen (VFD) and control knobs with variable lighting.
