The S-150m is a slim line monaural power amplifier boasting our latest circuit topology and a substantial power output of 150 Watts into 8 Ohms and 300 Watts into 4 Ohms. The elegant exterior houses the technology developed in the Krell Evolution amplifiers including Krell Differential Current Mode circuitry and balanced operation.
The S-150m is the ideal choice for high performance systems in space limited locations.
The S-275 is a slim line stereo power amplifier boasting our latest advancements in circuit design featuring an impressive 275 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms and 550 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms in stereo mode. Setting the rear panel switch to mono operation, the S-275 boasts a massive output of 550 Watts into 8 Ohms and 1,100 Watts into 4 Ohms. Technologies developed for the Krell Evolution amplifiers including Krell Differential Current Mode circuitry, wide bandwidth topology, and surface mount technology have been incorporated throughout the design.
Combining flagship technologies in an elegant presentation, the S-275 is the ideal choice for high impact systems where space is at a premium.

New from
Canor (formerly known as Edgar Audio). A killer valve combination
and a favourite as SOM.
(NEW)
TP106 VR Integrated Amplifier (£2,995)
Weighing in at 26kg the Canor TP106 is an Integrated Valve Amplifier of truly epic proportions. One of the most important parts of a valve amplifier is the output transformer and Canor (formerly known as Edgar) use a very special one indeed. Married with hand-selected components of superior quality, housed in a double think copper chassis, the whole becomes far greater than the sum of its parts. An Integrated Amplifier that truly stands out from the crowd. We love it! (available in black or silver finish)
(NEW)
CD2 VR CD Player (£2,500)
Weighing in at a substantial 12kg, the Canor CD2 is a beautifully crafted state-of-the-art valve CD wonder. Designed from the ground up, Canor (formerly known as Edgar) have paid special attention to every aspect from chassis vibration through to the hand-made custom power supplies. The CD2 produces a magnificent performance that few can touch at the price. (available in black or silver finish)
