The Lavardin IT brought out the absolute best in every single pair of speakers I trialled
It's an enigma, an amplifier that produces music that sounds so 'right' that you just know that all other amplifiers must be wrong.

The Lavardin IT is a truly great amplifier and the standard by which all other amps must be judged.
My recommendation for our award for most wanted product of the Year? Obviously. But more: most wanted product of my lifetime.

POSITIVE FEEDBACK

"memory free circuit or not, this amp is fantastic. It's built to last, looks at home in most any decor or system and has that cunning ability to disappear.
Audiophiles are a funny bunch at times: "I want only the music to come through!" Ok, so here it is: the Lavardin IT in other words: wire with gain?
About as close to it as I've heard in my system. That's it. Genius, simply genius, well done Jean-Christophe!"

This is certainly one of the most self-effacing, natural amplifiers I've heard, almost regardless of price.
But beware, once you've heard it, returning to run-of-the-mill solid-state which has memory is a difficult task".

PRESTIGE Audio
Now, the Model IT out performs the best mono triode designs for articulation, transparency and contour...
Dynamic capacity does not match the designer's max power indication ; it seems that we are listening a 2x200w amp so blasting are the transients.
