The SV-500 is an integrated amplifier from Vincent, sitting above the SV-200 with considerably greater output power. The SV-500 brings Vincent's considered engineering to a substantial integrated chassis.
Key specs that matter
Four single-ended inputs are provided. Input sensitivity is 420mV, with input impedance at 47,000 ohms. Output power is 50W into 8 ohms, rising to 80W into 4 ohms - considerably more than the SV-200's 25W/35W. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 90dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.1%. At 430 x 118 x 375mm and 10kg, the SV-500 represents a more substantial commitment than the SV-200.
Sound and use context
Expect a dependable amplification character reflecting the strong over-90dB signal-to-noise figure, representing accomplished value at this price tier.
Pairing
Vincent's own source catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.
Alternatives
Vincent's own SV-700 offers a more powerful alternative with a built-in DAC within the same broader integrated amplifier catalogue.
