The Puccini Anniversary is an integrated amplifier from the Italian manufacturer Audio Analogue. It is a special edition within the brand's integrated amplifier range, with an unusually wide rated bandwidth and low output impedance.
Key specs that matter
Rated output is 2 x 80 W into 8 ohms, doubling to 2 x 160 W into 4 ohms. The rated bandwidth runs from 0 Hz to 80 kHz, with a 110 dB signal-to-noise figure. Input sensitivity is 490 mV, and the output impedance is a very low 0.17 ohms for both balanced and single-ended connections.
Engineering and use context
Connection comes through four single-ended inputs plus one balanced input. The chassis measures 120 x 445 x 390 mm and weighs 15.5 kg, so the Puccini Anniversary is a substantial piece of equipment.
Pairing
With its output doubling as impedance halves, the Puccini Anniversary can drive loudspeakers with low sensitivity or a difficult load.
Alternatives
The Audio Analogue AAcento is the closest in-house integrated amplifier.
