The new German brand, Electric Audio (a subsidiary of the well-known company in Gauder Akustik), presented the Electric Audio TAE 150 integrated amplifier and the Electric Audio PAE 150 stereo power amplifier.
The Electric Audio TAE 150 is an integrated stereo transistor amplifier with an innovative amplification circuit that does not require the use of a preamplifier and provides the shortest signal path.
The output power of the device is 2 x 130 watts per channel when working on a load of 8 ohms, 2 x 215 watts at 4 ohms and an impressive 2 x 365 watts at 2 ohms.
The amplifier's power supply is based on a large toroidal transformer with a capacity of 1,000 VA and a capacitor bank with a total capacity of 80,000 μF, which, according to the manufacturer, allows for a peak current of up to 70 amperes.
Electric Audio PAE 150 uses similar lighting technology, but since we have a two-channel power amplifier, the signal path has become even shorter.
The cherry on the cake is the ability to work together with Electric Audio TAE 150 to implement a Bi-amping configuration (the volume can be adjusted separately through the integrated amplifier).
Recommended retail prices and the timing of the new products' appearance on sale will be announced later.

Cary Audio has introduced a new streaming integrated amplifier Cary Audio DMS-300A – the model develops a power of 2 x 75 W into speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms, uses MOSFET transistor amplification of class A/B and achieves 100 dB signal-to-noise ratio with 0.5% distortion.
The new Pass Labs HPA-1c headphone amplifier is introduced. As you can see from the model index, the new product is based on the previously released HPA-1 - and offers accurate volume control, wide bandwidth and a direct coupled MOSFET output stage.
QUAD has launched serial production of the QUAD ESL 2812X and QUAD ESL 2912X acoustic systems – the sixth generation of branded speakers replaces the ESL 2812 and ESL 2912, released in 2012.
Musical Fidelity has launched serial production of the new integrated amplifier Musical Fidelity B1xi – a development of the well-known Musical Fidelity B1 model from the 90s of the twentieth century.
VAF Research – has released the VAF DC 2S bookshelf loudspeakers – with a relatively affordable retail price of 1,699 Australian dollars, the model accumulates many years of experience of the company (founded in 1978) in audio and offers a sophisticated sound. Each pair of speakers is hand-assembled in Adelaide.
