Audio Resurgence is a small British amplifier maker in Hertfordshire, England, set up by Andy Light and Glen Gayle as the modern continuation of Alchemist Products, the company they founded in 1989 and ran through the 1990s. The late Tim de Paravicini, who designed Alchemist's later Signature Series models, left the circuit ideas on which the new firm's first product is based. The company presents itself as a continuity of that work rather than a relaunch, and its output so far is one amplifier line.
Range & what it's known for
The catalog consists of the Kraken, a Class A stereo integrated amplifier rated at more than 50 watts RMS into 8 ohms at 1 kHz with 200 mV input sensitivity, followed by the Kraken Evolution AR6A, a reworked version with much larger heatsinks so the output stage can stay in Class A at higher power. The power supply sits in a separate box, with a choice of one or two external units, and an optional moving-magnet phono module fits inside. The volume and input selector are coaxial knobs chosen to keep the signal path short, and the amplifier chassis measures 302 by 300 by 89 mm. The UK price is GBP 1,250 with a single supply. Signature and Designer series models have been announced as the next step.
Who owns it and where it's made
Audio Resurgence is an independent company owned by its founders, with no distributor or group behind it. Design and hand assembly take place in the United Kingdom.
The lineup in this catalog
Components (1). The single listing is the Kraken integrated amplifier, priced by the maker at GBP 1,250 in its standard single-supply form.
Who it's for
The Kraken is for a listener looking for a Class A integrated from a two-person British workshop and comfortable buying from a company with one product rather than a full range. The entry point and the whole path are the same amplifier, with the second power supply and the phono card as the upgrades inside the brand.
