The PA 2500 R is an integrated amplifier from T+A, built with an exceptionally wide rated bandwidth and low distortion figure. This model represents T+A's serious current expression of integrated amplification, extending the brand's characteristic German engineering ambition into a single-chassis solution.
Key specs that matter
Three single-ended inputs are provided. Rated bandwidth is an extraordinary 0.5 Hz to 300 000 Hz, an exceptionally wide window reaching far beyond typical audible range. Signal-to-noise is 105 dB, rising to 109 dB in certain measurement conditions. Distortion is under 0.001%, a strong figure. At 165 x 460 x 405 mm and 14.5 kg it is a substantial chassis, consistent with T+A's characteristically serious build quality.
Sound and use context
Expect an extremely wide-bandwidth, low-distortion presentation with strong measured figures reflecting T+A's characteristic engineering ambition - a serious performer combining measured precision with the brand's broader reputation for genuine musicality across both electronics and loudspeaker engineering.
Pairing
The three single-ended inputs cover a modest but capable source lineup, sufficient for most typical two-channel systems built around this amplifier's considerable measured performance.
Alternatives
T+A's broader loudspeaker range, including the Pulsar S 130, forms a natural partner for a system built around this amplifier, worth pairing together for a coherently voiced, German-engineered signal chain reflecting T+A's characteristic house sound. T+A extensive dealer network across Germany and beyond makes arranging a proper demonstration practical, worth doing to hear this specific amplifier considerable measured performance advantage directly. A dealer visit remains the simplest way to compare current pricing across T+A integrated amplifier catalogue, and a rigid, well-supported equipment shelf remains worthwhile given this substantial chassis weight. Overall this remains a capable, measurement-focused choice within T+A integrated amplifier catalogue. A dealer demonstration remains worthwhile before committing to any specific purchase. Cable and stand choices matter far less at this price point than getting the basic source pairing right. A dealer demonstration remains worthwhile before committing. Adequate ventilation space around the chassis also helps this amplifier run reliably over long sessions.
