The Watt is an integrated amplifier from Audionet, built with a wide rated bandwidth and exceptionally high damping factor. This model sits within Audionet's amplifier catalogue alongside the SAM 20 SE, offering the brand's characteristic measurement-focused German engineering in a comprehensive integrated format.
Position in line
It sits alongside the Humboldt and SAM 20 SE in Audionet's amplifier hierarchy. This positioning alongside the Humboldt and SAM 20 SE suggests Audionet offers several distinct integrated amplifier tiers, each carrying its own specific power output and connectivity emphasis.
Key specs that matter
One balanced and three single-ended inputs are provided. Input impedance is 7,000 ohms balanced and 50,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is 167 W into 8 ohms, rising to 284 W into 4 ohms - a healthy near-clean doubling suggesting a robust power supply. Rated bandwidth is an extraordinary 0.3 Hz to 650 000 Hz. Signal-to-noise exceeds 106 dB. Damping factor exceeds 1000, an exceptionally high figure. At 430 x 130 x 450 mm and 25 kg it is a substantial chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect an extremely controlled, wide-bandwidth presentation with the exceptionally high damping factor suggesting very firm grip on loudspeaker cone motion - a serious performer reflecting Audionet's characteristic German engineering ambition applied to integrated amplification.
Pairing
The healthy near-clean doubling into 4 ohms suits demanding or low-sensitivity loudspeakers without derating concerns, broadening the speakers this amplifier can comfortably serve.
Alternatives
Audionet's Humboldt and SAM 20 SE sit alongside this model in the brand's amplifier hierarchy, worth comparing directly with a dealer on specific power output and connectivity before choosing between these positioned Audionet integrated amplifiers. Audionet extensive dealer network across Germany and beyond makes arranging a direct comparison against both the Humboldt and SAM 20 SE practical, helping clarify exactly which specific power tier and connectivity emphasis best suits a particular system. A rigid, well-supported equipment shelf remains worthwhile given this substantial chassis weight. A dealer visit remains the simplest way to compare current pricing across Audionet amplifier catalogue. A dealer demonstration remains worthwhile before committing to any specific purchase.
