Website:https://westendaudiosystems.de/
Westend Audio Systems is a small German maker of tube electronics based in Munich, run by managing director Stefan Trog with developer Günter Mania. It is known mainly for the Monaco, a heavy push-pull valve integrated, and a short list of hand-built companion pieces.
Range & what it's known for
The Monaco delivers 2 x 100 W into 4 ohms from four E130L power tubes and four ECC82s, with three XLR and two RCA inputs, an XLR pre-out and automatic bias adjustment. A Mk2 version followed. The Leo is a single-ended 300B integrated rated at 2 x 20 W. The current list also names the Servus tube DAC, the Elli preamplifier and the Ludwig turntable.
Who owns it and where it's made
The company is privately run by Trog, who also operates a Munich hi-fi store. Mania worked at AVM before turning to valve circuits for Westend. Design and assembly stay in Germany, and the amplifiers use tubes supplied by Western Electric.
The lineup in this catalog
Integrated amplifiers, represented here by the Monaco tube integrated.
Who it's for
Owners of demanding loudspeakers who want valve amplification with enough power to avoid separate pre and power units, and who need balanced inputs. The Leo suits lower-power, high-sensitivity systems built around a 300B.
