The AMP V is the successor of the AMP III (footnote 2), but almost everything about the AMP V is new. For example, we've been at AXPONA with Magico and Van den Hul."

"We wanted sound that's authentic and natural," Voss added. "This is the main thing I was thinking about musically when I was designing."

What, if anything, might those extra 260Wpcand those extra pounds of transformer and heat-dissipating metalmean sonically in my moderately sized listening room? I was determined to find out. With rated power of 900Wpc into 8 ohms, 1360Wpc into 4 ohms, and 1500Wpc into 2 ohms, the AMP V, which stands proud at the top of the Accustic Arts amplifier line, surpasses my reference D'Agostino Progression M550's rated power into 4 ohms by 260Wpc (footnote 1). The $50,000, 176lb Accustic Arts AMP V (pronounced Amp Five) is the heaviest, tallest, most powerful, most expensive stereo amplifier to enter my audio system.
