In 2000, lavardin Technologies moved to a new factory of 5,500 sq ft near the city of Tours in the Loire Valley, the very heart of France where all the greatest King's castles are located.
This has provided us with superb manufacturing facilities and allowed us to design Lavardin Technologies products to a higher quality standard that ever before. We are thus able to concentrate on the design of new and even improved products in our design laboratory.

The Lavardin Technologies Amplifier mechanical parts are a work of art. All Lavardin Technologies parts are manufactured by the best precision technicians here in the Loire Valley or in the Paris area.

• All of our 10mm or 6mm front panels are machined from solid aluminium bar which is finnished by black anodised.
• All our cases are stronger than normal and are made from 3mm thick aluminum : an elegant and durable material for our amplifiers which are designed to last a lifetime and are sent to customers all over the world.
• Each knob on a Lavardin Technologies product is machined from solid high-grade non magnetic aluminum bar and undergoes 6 stages of machining, hand polishing and black anodisation before it is assembled onto a unit.

Each Lavardin Technologies Amplifier is extensively tested during its production :

• Components of top quality and pre-tested components are used in our circuitry.
• After assembly, the circuit itself is tested before being integrated.
• After the final assembly, the Lavardin Technologies Amplifier is fully tested for performance
• The amplifier box is closed.
• Then the amplifiers are put in a test bench for 4 days with cycles of power-on, power-off, in order to detect any malfunction.
• After this test, each amplifier is tested using known reference recordings

Nothing we manufacture leaves the factory without undergoing this listening test, to ensure that it performs its most important function ; to respect music.
