Integrated amplifiers — Kora TB200

The TB200 is an integrated amplifier from Kora, sitting above the TB140 with considerably greater output power. The TB200 brings Kora's considered engineering to a more substantial integrated amplifier tier.

Key specs that matter

Four single-ended inputs are provided, with input impedance at 15k ohms and output impedance at 2,000 ohms. Output power is 2 x 100W into 8 ohms, rising to 2 x 180W into 4 ohms - considerably more than the TB140's 70/140W figures. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. At 130 x 420 x 320mm and 19kg, the TB200 represents a meaningful step up in scale and weight from the TB140.

Sound and use context

Expect substantially greater dynamic headroom than the TB140, reflecting the considerably increased 100/180W output, consistent with Kora's broader considered French engineering approach.

Pairing

The clean power increase into 4 ohms suits a wide range of loudspeaker impedances, and Kora's own broader electronics catalogue offers natural companion components.

Alternatives

Kora's own TB140 sits below this model as a more accessible alternative with built-in phono capability the TB200 lacks, worth considering instead if phono amplification is required.
