Audiophile-Quality Sound

From its balanced (or RCA) inputs to its binding posts, the PA 2-250 is a true audiophile power amp, built with fully discrete circuitry and powered by a 1200VA toriodal power supply. There’s no Class-D switching amplification here, and no “amp on a chip” solutions—just pure, powerful analog design.

Impressive Protection and Integration

The PA 2-250 protects your investment—and your entire system—with a microprocessor-controlled protection system that shuts down the amp and alerts you if there are any fault conditions. It’s also a snap to integrate into any system, with both trigger inputs and outputs.

30-Day Guarantee and 10-Year Warranty

Best of all, you can try the PA 2-250 in your own home for 30 days. See how it performs in your system. If it doesn’t transform your experience, simply contact us so you can send it back for a full refund. You can also rest easy, knowing the PA 2-250 is covered by a 10-year warranty—up to 10 times longer than our competition!
