Pure Class A / Class AB Integrated Amplifier

ABsolute... the essence of this integrated amplifier is perfectly revealed in its name. This product is the most ambitious project of Audio Analogue and after more than twenty-five years of constant work and improvements it certainly represents the best way to celebrate such an important achievement.

A unique amplifier that gives you the opportunity to enjoy the refinement of Pure Class A sound or the power of Class AB, literally, at the touch of a button.

High level audiograde components selected to optimize the performance of the amplifier in both Class A and Class AB modes.

Massive shapes which combine the extreme cleanliness and elegance of the solid design characterized by heavy heatsinks machined from solid aluminium which, in addition to being unique pieces, are also a perfect example of the excellence of Made in Italy craftsmanship.

Powerful, versatile, refined, extremely musical: this is ABsolute, an amplifier that establishes a new reference in the world of high-end high fidelity.
